Boulevard option could produce $16 million in annual property tax revenue. Back to the full article.
The state wants to do a rebuild weather in kind or slim. You can totally tell from their subtle corralling of benign concerns into a pen of overt doubt. The idea of a surface street option turns the junk science they do with traffic studies on its head. A boulevard option would look better and I don’t doubt that land would get developed quickly, especially near the Milwaukee market. Will the rents be high? Probably. Would they add to the housing stock we desperately need, yes. Convenience for the southern suburb commuters shouldn’t come at a cost to Milwaukee.
Does the DOT look into or give any weight to air and noise pollution? Less pollution could offset some of the fatalities from increased crashes.
@B – That would come up in the final environmental impact statement. I don’t see it in the data presented yesterday. Nor is the severity of crash data included (there are of course unusual situations where things like roundabouts are known to generate more crashes but of a less severe variety than the t-bone crashes they eliminate)
