We’ve had a good run here at UrbanMilwaukee.com, but we’re shutting our doors, packing up the U-Haul, and moving to Portland, OR. Well, no. We spent last weekend exploring the great city of Portland, and the thought did cross our minds but we’re not going anywhere. In fact we’ve just moved into UrbanMilwaukee.com’s new office in downtown Milwaukee, and are doubling down on our efforts to Champion Life in the Cream City.

Today, is the start Milwaukee’s second annual Pedestrian Safety Week, during which the City of Milwaukee will be holding crosswalk safety demonstrations all week long, so if you see a chicken trying to cross the road, please yield.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee Brewer’s Polish Racing Sausage kicked off “Pedestrian Safety Week” today. They carried signs reminding drivers that they need to yield for pedestrians in the crosswalk. In fact Mayor Barrett’s sign read “Why did Mayor Barrett cross the road? To remind drivers of state law. Yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.”
