This is fantastic. Of course we all know that the Cons are trying their hardes to rid WI of bike lanes.
I have just returned from a morning bike ride and can report that the large pothole is common on Milwaukee streets. Living on the forgotten NW side of Milwaukee we get little to no services, no trendy bars and restaurants out here. The Oak Leaf trail in our area is in shambles.I tried to ride it yesterday to find large flooded areas with hidden holes under the water. What pavement remains id crumbling. There are two streets with newer pavement, N 92nd and Appleton; however, since there is no police patrols on this side of town there is no speed limits or obeying stop lights. I would be happy if a car slowed down to 40.
I notice that in these photos no Bikes to be seen………….and about 20 parking spots are GONE………
The Street Car………..is a great idea too…..
Actually, W Roosevelt Dr between Burleigh and Capital already had protected bike lanes. Perhaps there were other spots as well?
@William
I believe that stretch of Roosevelt Dr. is a buffered bike lane not a “protected” bike lane. They key difference is that protected lanes include the plastic barrier poles.
Very cool. So what’s the layout to the east and west of the bridges? Did the stretch of Locust between Oakland and the river get fixed? Is the gap in bike lanes on North Ave between Reservoir Park and the river finally closed?
These should really be protected anywhere there isn’t a regularly used parking lane since otherwise Milwaukee drivers seem to see bike lanes and parking lanes as an opportunity to pass traffic at high speed. Milwaukee really needs to up its protected bike lane game to catch up to Chicago and Minneapolis and deal with out of control drivers.
I have had Walker Fatigue for many years. Recently I have been suffering from Caligula and Troll Fatigue. When will the chumps realize that stupid words such as libtard are enjoyed exclusively by the mentally challenged?
Could the city have the streetsweeper come through so everytime I ride in this protected bike line I don’t worry about getting a flat?
@dan if you actually lived in the city you would realize nobody uses those parking spots on the north ave bridge. don’t @ me.
