Public service announcement from the City of Whitewater

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is interested in improving pedestrian safety when crossing Starin Road between Prince Street and Prairie Street. One solution they would like to investigate further is the closure of Starin Road to vehicular traffic during certain hours Monday thru Friday while the University is in session. The exact closure would be just east of the Warhawk Drive intersection to just east of the UW Bookstore.

To gather more information and potential impacts, the City Council has authorized a temporary closure for two weeks. Starting Monday, October 7, 2024 – Friday, October 18, 2024, Starin Road will be closed to thru traffic from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday, as shown on the map above. The temporary closure will cease at 6:00 p.m. on Friday October 18, 2024. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes, which may include CTH U, Schwager Drive, or Main Street.
