County Looking To Add Bike Racks To Buses
Get a daily rundown of the top stories on Urban Milwaukee
Despite Scott Walker‘s consistent insistence that the Milwaukee County Transit System is just a step short of going completely broke, Milwaukee County is proposing to add bicycle racks to the front of the bus fleet. The announcement comes in wake of a proposed settlement for releasing asbestos during the destruction of the Courthouse Annex (the beautiful building over Interstate 43). One bad for one good.
On the flip side, the county seems to think they can get federal grants and private funds to pay for a lot of the cost. So they’re clearly doing this to try to kill two birds with one stone.
As long as it happens, I’m a happy biker.

Yea… I think Kenosha and Racine already have bike racks but we have to play some end around game to get them is a bit sad.
Now if they can just promise to get in fewer accidents, I would feel safe strappin’ my bike to front of one of those babies.
@daver – Yeah, but when you’re big and bureaucratic, and lack a leader that actually likes your system (Scott Walker), things take a while.
Duluth Transit has them, and I like it. Perhaps Milwaukee can use some of that federal transit aid they’ve been squandering. But they probably won’t use that for anything fun…if anything.
