A variety of local and state lawmakers are hosting a “neighborhood meeting” about the upcoming Hoan Bridge reconstruction project on Tuesday, Aug. 23, on Milwaukee’s South Side.
The meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Beulah Brinton center cafeteria, 2555 South Bay St. in Bay View.
The focus of the meeting, according to a notice from State Sen. Chris Larson, one of the organizers, is “talking about a possible Hoan Bridge bicycle and pedestrian lane.” From Larson’s email notice:
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) is currently studying the feasibility of creating a bicycle and pedestrian lane on the Hoan Bridge. DOT expects to complete its study sometime this fall, so now is the time to learn more about DOT’s study and make your voice heard about adding a bike and pedestrian lane to the Hoan Bridge.
Learn more about the project on the Wisconsin Department of Transportation project web page here. And this copy of the meeting notice provides a nice and easy-to-read summary of the project’s need and scope.

Will Larson show???
I hope so. It’s his meeting 🙂 No, Sen. Larson only flees to Illinois when Republicans try and rush through — with little debate and even less of an attempt to educate the public — major legislation that fundamentally changes the work life of tens of thousands of public workers.
I differ with that. I have sent him numerous emails with no answer from him. His day will come for a recall. Grass root effort is beginning soon. The State of Wisconsin is now in bettter shape. Evidently based on the news article the other day, WEAC is having trouble with their members not wanting to join. They laid off 40% of their office staff. Must be that they spent too much money on trying to oust Darling!!!
I think we will have to agree to disagree on that issue. I like to think I have an open mind on key issues, but not on this one. But to your point on not getting response on emails, that’s not good. Being responsive to your constituents has to be job one for an elected official (as you know).
