State statute requires that pedestrian malls be designated by the Council. After referring the matter to the plan commission for report under s. 62.23 (5), and after holding a public hearing on the matter with publication of a Class 1 notice of the hearing, the governing body of any city may by ordinance designate any street, road or public way or any part of a street, road or public way wholly within its jurisdiction as a pedestrian mall and prohibit or limit vehicular traffic in the pedestrian mall. Creation of a pedestrian mall under this section does not constitute a discontinuance or vacation of the street, road or public way under s. 66.1003 or 236.43.
This ordinance follows State Statute for converting the alley south of Lake Street running between Main Street and the alley to the east as a pedestrian mall. This allows the city to prohibit vehicular traffic in the pedestrian mall while maintaining the public way.
