Thats exactly what it tasted like lol. A shitty lunchable

You answered your own question in Your post. Use the voice commands. Dont like the voice commands? Then take the bus.

Like really?! Entertained & productive while operating heavy machinery at high speeds? Give me a break.

Here is more info if youre interested :) https://engage.milwaukee.gov/growingmke

All the recommendations & presentation material are here as well as a survey and other contact info.

Its actually a really cool change that (IMO) will really benefit the city. Went to the open house yesterday & was impressed. As OPs article mentions, it really focuses on encouraging small scale multi-family dwellings like duplexes, ADUs, townhouses, etc.

The oak leaf trail is a real gem! Excited to see it get continued love. Particularly love the idea of a new access point.

Its total pie in the sky, but i would love to see the north and south sections of the trail get connected by utilizing the hoan (like take just 2 of the 6 lanes to create a linear park)

Woah. 463 apartments in phase 1 with a potential of over 900 total is huge! Excited to see renders

If the tiny downtown loop gets this much ridership, imagine what sort of ridership it could get with expansion.

Wow. Such a tough subject. Sounds like a pretty somber “yes” vote from our aldermen. Glad to hear about their intent to pursue legal action though.

Also, i cant get over the fact that the paraprofessional makes less than 20k. The fact that we as society put such little value into the people responsible for our children is very upsetting.

As someone who also eats out way too much lol, this sounds awesome!

I hope they are able to secure funding! The proposed extensions make a lot of sense & will make the system far more useful. Particularly looking forward to the Brady street extension.

Awesome! So excited to see this development underway!

I wish the housing aspect of it was more ambitious (just looks a bit uninspired & small for such a site), but am excited to see it being built nonetheless.

This is incredible! Ive been really impressed with the city’s safe street efforts & am glad to see momentum going this strong.

A pedestrianized brady st sounds like a great idea! Its use as a business district is already well established with tons of pedestrian activity & i feel would succeed quite well with pedestrianization. Think of how much more outdoor dining there could be or the programming that could occur on game days.

Here is the link to the proposed brady st designs… personally, im quite a fan of option 3 from a practicality aspect (option 4 would likely have exceptions to vehicle restrictions, particularly between humboldt and franklun): https://bradystreet.org/pedestrian-first-study/

Its worth noting though, such plans are quite ambitious considering the obscenely prudish and backwards nature of the local businesses. They refuse to accept even the most minor of traffic calming as proven by their demands to remove the recently installed chicane.

So awesome! Been waiting forever for them to release their proposals! Excited to see them finally arrive :)

I agree that freeway removal option 2 seems best & will most certainly be attending all the public meetings to advocate for it. NGL though, I'd honestly be pretty thrilled with most of the options they presented... They all seem like a really significant upgrade for walkability through downtown, particularly improvement options 2/5/6. I'm really impressed with what they came up with.

Id love to see you provide some sources backing up your statements…

Man, that sucks! Talk about a logistics nightmare!

Hopefully the venture cars come sooner rather than later.. the tweet saying that they are “many months away” doesnt really inspire confidence though.

I feel like every time i take the hiawatha there are always a couple bicyclists waiting for the train.

Glad to hear! Personally, ive been impressed with his leadership.

It really is crazy! Visibility is super low, lots of people with masks, and a high uv index on top of it lol. Hopefully it will dissipate soon.

Whats crazier are the restaurants who still think today is a good day to open all their windows lol. Walked past one downtown today & felt so bad for the workers.

I know its a super unpopular opinion, but i wouldnt mind seeing the domes torn down/replaced with a new botanical garden.

I find the domes to be rather underwhelming compared to other botanical gardens & find the facility to be rather inefficiently laid out.

I think losing the domes with no botanical garden replacement would be a big loss for the city, but dont really see the domes themselves as particularly worth saving.

These sound like very wonderful updates!! Always great to see frequency increases instead of cuts.

Very exciting news! Its been a really exciting past few days nationwide with all the rail corridor announcements & im excited that the wisconsin routes were also selected. I really like the approach of branching the hiawatha to green bay and madison.. it should really make milwaukee a bit of a (regional) train hub
