Looking for an update on the upcoming improvements to Pennsylvania/Nicholson and 15th Avenue? Stop by the Public Works and Property Committee meeting next Thursday.
The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
On the agenda are more details on the 15th Avenue rehabilitation and Pennsylvania/Nicholson expansion projects, including more details on the project schedules and the city’s cost share amount for both.
Among the questions I’ll have are what, if any, impact any southward of the Lake Parkway may have on the Pennsylvania/Nicholson project. My first inclination? Probably not much. Pennsylvania/Nicholson needs works, sooner rather than later. It certainly can’t wait until the Parkway project proceeds, if it ever does.
Check out earlier posts on 15th Avenue and Pennsylvania/Nicholson for more.
Also to be discussed are other potential 2010 projects. One I’m pushing for are improvements to 11th Avenue south of Milwaukee to accomodate the South Milwaukee Downtown Market. The street is literally crumbling, and it’s unsafe for market shoppers … and drivers. A better street will ensure the long-term viability of the market at that location.
