New Look To South Milwaukee Bus Service: Route 15 Changes Take Effect Sunday

The changes to Route 15 — South Milwaukee’s only bus line — take effect Sunday morning.

As you recall, a new Route 52 will replace some of the 15’s service in the South Shore, including South Milwaukee.

  • Route 52 will now operate on Pennsylvania and 15th Avenues, looping on to Rawson, 10th, Chicago, Drexel Boulevard and 17th.
  • Route 15 will continue to operate down Chicago Avenue and make a loop starting at Madison Avenue, continuing down 5th, west on Columbia and back north on Chicago.

This Milwaukee County Transit System publication describes the new routes in more detail and includes a color map. This document lists all of the new Route 15/52 bus stop locations.

You can also learn more about the system-wide changes in this Journal Sentinel story and on this MCTS web page. 

Of course, I’d like your thoughts on these changes. Post your comments below!

What’s The Future Of The 15?

The future of the Route 15 bus — which serves South Milwaukee — is the topic of a public information meeting several Milwaukee County supervisors are holding on Monday, Oct. 24.

Check out the press release from County Supervisor Pat Jursik here.

As I have written about, the 15 was threatened with some serious reductions in service as part of the Milwaukee County Transit System’s 2012 budget proposal. County Executive Chris Abele spared the 15 from some of those cuts in his proposed budget, creating an Express Route 15 to serve the South Shore, among other changes.

You can learn more about that new plan at the meeting.
