Glad to hear that some planting will be done to keep the bluff stable. I appreciate the article map.
I have always been suspicious of some of the sickly trees on North Wahl Avenue just north of Bradford.
This is a welcome article. I walk that trail every day and I’ve been wondering who/how . Now am awaiting the erosion that will undoubtedly occur. There already are some areas that look like mini-ravines in the making. The bluff is a man-made eyesore and one more insult to an area that has recently lost so many ash trees — for scientific vs. “view” reasons.
Sumac isn’t going to be the answer. ( And maybe Michael Horne could explain why the White Manor is assessed at $0. ) Let’s have photos again a year from now.
Whew!
Got it done in time for April showers.
@Kate – It is not assessed for $0. A glitch in our system that we are working to correct. The correct assessment is $9.5 million. It is a parcel that includes multiple buildings.
Thanks, Jeramy. Very helpful and a rapid response. Urban Milwaukee is a tremendous resource for what’s going on in Milwaukee. Grateful for all of you.
Is there not going to be ANY repercussions against those initiating this work?
This looks like s***. The bluffs will continue to look like s*** with only low-growth plants. Trails should have kissing canopies anywhere and everywhere possible. The county parks, as a whole, could use about 2,000% more trees.
