    SHEBOYGAN — Results of the Sheboygan Area School District ’s traffic study on intersections surrounding the proposed Urban Middle School rebuild site will be released to the public Monday.

    Earlier this year, SASD announced plans for a referendum to a rebuild both Urban and Farnsworth middle schools. The $140 million project was proposed by the district because the nearly century-old buildings need extensive repairs and upgrades.

    While Farnsworth will be rebuilt on the same site, Urban will move from its current location by North High School to the corner of Mill and Najacht roads. One reason SASD proposed the move was because the proximity between the two buildings created congestion issues.

    During the planning phase of the project, SASD initiated a traffic study to assess the impacts of increased traffic on intersections surrounding the proposed Urban rebuild location.

    The study, now complete, was prepared by Wisconsin Department of Transportation certified engineers from Traffic Analysis & Design , a Cedarburg engineering firm.

    At 6 p.m. May 6, the results of the study will be presented to the public in the Urban Middle School auditorium. Representatives from SASD and Bray Architects will be at the presentation and attendees can submit questions to be answered after the presentation.

    What part of JUST SAY NO, does the SASD not understand? And for them to say that Urban being so close to North high causes congestion is just an excuse. Was it not SADS who decided to build North high by Urban in the first place? SADS ought to focus on the quality of the education that they are providing for the students rather than wanting to hang more taxes on the public. I think if SADS wants new buildings, they ought to pay for them out of their own pockets!
