On Wednesday Governor Doyle announced plans to spend the first $300 million out of $550 million stimulus funds on 63 road construction and repair projects in 30 counties. Just under half of counties in Wisconsin made this first round but a glaring omission has to be Milwaukee County. Although freeway expansion and construction are often in conflict with urban goals, Milwaukee County clearly has a multitude of existing state highways that are in desperate need of repair and Milwaukee County has thousands of people in need of work immediately.

Yesterday the U.S. Senate approved the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and although it still has conference committee changes to go through prior to arriving on President Obama’s desk it’s interesting to see what items the City of Milwaukee would like to see funded. Milwaukee requested $599,062,000 in projects, in a variety of categories including roads, schools, and mass transit. Of course it’s unclear whether any or all of Milwaukee’s requested projects will get funded but seeing what the City of Milwaukee requested shows the goals and direction of the city.
