Effort to create Milwaukee’s first official skate park gains approval from committee
Today, the Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development Committee approved a resolution amending the project plan for Tax Incremental District No. 94 (1st and Becher) to support the creation of a skate park in Milwaukee. Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic and Common Council President José G. Pérez sponsored the file for the skate park to be constructed with TID funding at the intersection of W. Rogers and S. 5th Streets. The project will also include painting 12 pillars located under the freeway overpass along S. 4th Street, and nearby roadway improvements.
The total project cost will be $2,852,000, and the skate park development will be administered through the city’s MKE Parks program. The file will be before the full Common Council for adoption at its next meeting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, January 17.
