This is a thread about Brady Street Pedestrianization. It's not about parking or delivery zones, but rather the larger parts of a project that will help ensure the long term viability of the project.

A woman grabbed my 12 year old brother at SummerFest tonight at the Maroon5 concert. She asked him how old he was and he said he was 12. She said he didn’t look 12. He ran away and kept his arms wrapped around me. After a bit she approached me and accused me of being a pedophile.

The rules that say cars shouldn’t park or drive in the bike lane are written in blood. They exist because people have died year after year and decade after decade. The fact that they decided to park there is peak entitlement and ignorance of the lives that have been lost.

If these get built, I’ll never drive to the Dells, Madison, the Twin Cities, or Green Bay ever again. In fact, I’ll probably go to La Crosse for the first time. All aboard!
Passenger rail helps people get to work, boosts tourism, and grows our local economies.
I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help get Wisconsinites where they need to go efficiently and safely, and I’m excited to see these plans for passenger rail move forward!

If St. Francis wants to have a bigger say in City of Milwaukee affairs, they should vote for municipal consolidation. Why should we keep our city a worse place for the sake of Southshore suburbs. Maybe they should focus on themselves and their redevelopment instead of Milwaukee.
St. Francis mayor already worried about losing I-794, now raises concern about sacrificing driving lanes for protected bike lanes on an alternative E-W commuter link to I-94

No. They shouldn’t get a dime from the county. We didn’t create a sales tax to fix county finances only to blow almost 3/8s of what it raises on a billionaire’s baseball team. If they’re going to spend $25 million a year, spend it on our parks and our busses.

Milwaukee will survive. We will keep fighting to achieve our priorities. And we will take the state to court for unconstitutional laws that have undermined home rule. We will live in a very different city in 10 years, a better city.
Milwaukee plans to exploit loopholes in Act 12 to continue funding DEI and the streetcar expansion, while filing a lawsuit against the state that will inevitably be decided by the new liberal majority on the State Supreme Court, according to Ald. Bob Bauman.

Isn’t the Hiawatha paid for with a greater percentage of user fees than highways in WI?
Each of which requires someone else to pay for a benefit to a small number of people. Amtrak requires massive subsidies and lead pipes should be replaced by the owner, just like when a new roof is needed..

Menomonee Falls has plans to develop a multi-use trail along Lisbon. Milwaukee is going to build a northwest PBL along Lisbon, Walnut and Sherman. We should work with Menomonee Falls to market this as a suburban-urban trail. Come up with a name and special signage for it.

Oh look a collapsed hiking bridge in one of our most popular parks (Lake Park). But the Parkways and parking lots are clearly more important.
The recent conversation around Parkways in Milwaukee makes me angry. Juneau Park is the closest park to me. And I can go there and see the narrow and sometimes buckled walking paths. Then I can look over the side and see the trail beds of long abandoned paths.

Republicans: Why does Milwaukee need fixed rail? Busses work just fine.
Republicans: Cut funding for the busses and attempt to drive MCTS, Milwaukee County, and the City of Milwaukee bankrupt.
About 80,000 people in Milwaukee ride the bus every day. It’s a diverse, mostly working class group.
State Republicans slashed Milwaukee’s transit funding *in half* in the last budget. Now, local officials are expecting cuts to go even further in ‘23-‘25.

Actually, improving Hiawatha Service is a good thing. And anytime anyone quotes Randal the tool, I’m going to stop listening. The man is a massive hypocrite and intellectually dishonest. That’s partially why he got fired from the Cato Institute.

“Nowhere in the country has Amtrak seen ridership double in the years after it adds a new train or trains,” he said.
