Wow! This sounds incredible! Excited to see it.
Finally…
Black spruce seems like the irl version of an internet troll lol. Hopefully once the facility is razed, the saga will end
Woah! Very interesting!
Excited to see what comes of this action… hopefully it involves WisDOT looking into alternative transportation options.
Woah! Another venue.. crazy how many music venues are being planned. Either milwaukee is vastly underserved, or there is about to be a lot of volatility in the local venue market.
Tbh, i dont go to many concerts, but pretty excited to see this proposal & hope it attracts artists who arent locked into live nation contracts. I just hope the venue is designed tastefully (aka not a giant parking garage with an undersized music venue sticking out the side)
This is so incredibly exciting!
This is very exciting! Excited to see how extensive the renovations will be (ex, will they be like walnut st with its grade separated buike lanes, or will it be like 6th st with jersey barriers/flexi posts)
That was quick..
I cant help but think how incredibly soul crushing it would be to commute all the way to chicago every day.. even from the sturtevant station, its a full hour train ride (on-top of just getting to the station.)
Sucks for the people adversely affected though.. that a rough surprise…
Awesome! Sounds like theyre really counting on the sidewalk multi-use trail in this area.
Very cool! That road always felt excessively wide for the limited traffic it gets. I hope the traffic calming is a success..
With that said, a few things pop in my head looking at the plans..
1- im curious why they are only going across half the viaduct..
2- i appreciate the protected bike lane, but i feel like this change actually makes bicycle movement a bit more confusing here.. specifically around the roundabout.. the jersey barriers seem to really obscure the bike lane’s entry/exit point… i hope they provide clear lane makrings to show the intended bicycle movement
To add onto that, i know theyre just following existing conditions, but this is a prime example of how anytime the road configuration gets even the slightest bit complicated, they consistently just abruptly end the bike lanes.. always found that super frustrating as it is super stressful.
3- the sidewalk here is a multi-use trail with (for me at least) confusing signage.. i wish they would add curb cuts at the ramp & mark the intended HAST path better
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
Super exciting! Ive been really liking freeway removal option #2 & am excited to hear that its likely to be included in the next round.
