Thanks to everyone who joined us for this evening’s public information meeting on the Pennsylvania/Nicholson Avenue reconstruction project.
The crowd was larger than I anticipated, but maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised given the nature of the project. There was a good mix of Oak Creek and South Milwaukee residents, and most came with an open mind.
I hope everyone had a good chance to study the two four-lane options — divided and undivided — and had most, if not all, of their questions answered and concerns addressed. There will be additional chances to offer your feedback going forward, and I pledge to keep you posted on those.
I, too, continue to learn more and more about this project, and I appreciate all the feedback I’ve been given so far.
Do not hesitate to contact me about this going forward, and feel free to post comments below.
And don’t forget that there is still time to submit written comments. Comments are due June 11 to Foth Infrastructure & Environment, 2514 South 102nd Street, Suite 278, West Allis, WI 53227, Attn: Munzer Haidar, P.E.

Eric, is there an online resource to view plans for any of the projects proposed/scheduled around South Milwaukee?
Brian: Good question, as there are certainly a lot of projects either under way or in the pipeline these days. I don’t think there is such a resource, unfortunately, but I will check.
Would reversible lanes be better for Nicholson/Pennsylvania Avenue? Two lanes going North Bound would be used during the morning rush hour and two lanes south bound during the afternoon/evening rush hour.
Kevin: That has not come up as an option, and I’m not sure it would meet state design standards. Since the state (through the stimulus package) is funding much of this, we have to adhere to their guidelines based on traffic counts, etc.
