An article by Alison Dirr in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel outlines the city’s plans for almost 50 pedestrian and bike safety projects slated for construction this year.
The Department of Public Works plans to install new bike lanes across all aldermanic districts and add more traffic calming measures. “The projects are dispersed across the city but get more concentrated the closer they are to downtown.”
The projects are funded through a combination of city, state, and federal funds. According to city officials, traffic calming measures have reduced speeding in some parts of Milwaukee. “We felt very strongly to change people's behavior, certainly enforcement, accountability and education are important — but sometimes you need to physically change the structure of the streets to force people to be better drivers,” said Alderman Michael Murphy.
