Following the public hearing, the Council will consider an ordinance to approve the zoning map amendment. The Plan Commission reviewed this request at its June 8, 2026 meeting and recommends approval of the zoning amendment.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve the zoning change as recommended by the Plan Commission
Limited to 3 minutes per person - Resident addresses are requested but are not required to be given

Summary: The proposed resolution approves updates from WisDOT to the functional classification of certain City streets following the 2020 Census urban area boundary adjustments. These classifications categorize roadways based on their transportation role in the region and help determine eligibility for state and federal transportation funding. After local approval, the changes will be submitted by WisDOT to the Federal Highway Administration for final approval. Two roadway segments are proposed for reclassification within the City of Two Rivers. 0.31 miles of Madison Street from 14th Street to STH 42 (Memorial Drive) being upgraded from Minor Arterial to Principal Arterial, and a 1-mile stretch of STH 310 (Hawthorne Avenue) from Madison to Columbus Street being downgraded from Principal Arterial to Minor Arterial.
RECOMMENDED ACTION FOR CONSENT AGENDA
Motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented
Summary: In March 2026, the City of Two Rivers terminated Tax Incremental Districts #13 (Culvers) and #16 (Eggers East) and the equalized values within those districts returned to the regular property tax base, helping to improve the integrity of the City General Fund. The proposed extension of TID #9 (VT Industries) continues the City strategy of prudently managing its TIF portfolio by extending the district to support affordable housing development.
Recommended Action:
Motion to waive reading and adopt the resolution
Summary: The proposed resolution establishes the payment terms for property owners to replace or install sidewalks during 2026 under the City's sidewalk replacement program.
