One complaint I hear (and make) often about South Milwaukee is that it’s hard to get to. It’s hard to “stumble upon” our great city. You have to want to go here to get here.
State Sen. Jeff Plale brought home this point at last week’s South Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce dinner, when he said he encountered a longtime area resident at the recent South Milwaukee Spring Market that had never even heard of our city until that day.
That’s why the idea of a Drexel Avenue entrance and exit at Interstate 94 is appealing to me. It would create another entry point into the city — a second exit from I-94 in addition to Rawson Avenue that will make it that much easier to find your way to South Milwaukee.
The Oak Creek City Council is taking up the issue at its meeting Tuesday night.
