Eyes on Projects
Psst - we don’t cover every project in every volume of this newsletter if there is no major new information. Check out last time’s newsletter for more updates about projects.
Curious about a project? Check out Engage MKE
There are many road projects happening in Milwaukee. To learn more about them, check out Engage MKE. This resource is a good place to start for understanding the major projects occurring in Milwaukee. Projects include:
Surveys
- Powerline Trail Phase 2 - This is a one question survey on whether you generally support expanding the trail going east (Recommended: Yes)
- Milwaukee County Active Streets - check out the support for County parkway closures. Safe streets and places for people really are popular.
- WisDOT Active Transportation Plan 2050
- Downtown Business Improvement District Strategic Plan Survey - let them know that you support removal of 794, as well as other great parts of the plan (We encourage you to mention biking safety and access, too!).
- Kinnickinnic River Trail Connections (KKRT) Public Survey #2
