Traffic Signal Analysis for CTHY A and Grand Chute Blvd.

The Town of Grand Chute has formally requested that the Outagamie County Highway department perform a traffic signal analysis for this intersection. With the addition of the roundabout at Hwy A and JJ, the traffic is more metered and the gaps for crossing Hwy A much shorter. The town also has a bicycle path along the south side of Grand Chute Blvd. in the southeast quadrant of the intersection. The Town has plans to continue the bike trail to the west along the south side of Grand Chute Blvd. later this year.

Public works employees guess this intersection currently meets peak hour warrants for the installation of a traffic signal. Appleton Alliance has indicated in the past they are interested in constructing their own trail way along Grand Chute Blvd. A crosswalk on Cty Hwy A would be ideal at this intersection.

Bennigans coming to Grand Chute

Construction is under way for a Bennigan's Restaurant near the Fox River Mall. It bills itself as an American Pub and Grill. The old Kolosso Toyota building has been torn down and the developers have proposed a new building that will be home to a service center for Time Warner Cable and the new Bennigan's restaurant. This Bennigan's will have a revamped theme. The restaurant will have a brighter, more contemporary look.
