Milwaukee’s Pedestrian Plan

This rendering of S. 2nd Street includes a variety of features of a “Complete Street.” Many, such as wider sidewalks, street trees and bike lanes, were incorporated in the streets reconstruction in 2010. Rendering by Kieran Sweeney.

This week on the podcast we discuss a plan to increase how pedestrian friendly Milwaukee is. City of Milwaukee multi-modal transportation manager Michael Amsden and pedestrian and bicycle coordinator James Hannig join the show to discuss the draft plan.

The plan, available online in draft form, lays out a series of easy-to-implement interventions that need only paint and planters. It also suggests bigger ways to redesign streets to increase safety, improve neighborhoods and develop a more vibrant city. Amsden and Hannig answer host Jeramey Jannene‘s questions about what the plan involves, where it will be used and where the city has already made successful improvements.
