Join Us Tonight For The Third Community Workshop For The Moving Milwaukee Forward Study
The proposed, future King Drive/ Bronzeville extension of the Milwaukee Streetcar has the potential to connect people to jobs, attract new businesses, bring new housing options, and improve public open spaces.
There will be a brief presentation at the beginning of the meeting, followed by an opportunity to talk with the study team and other residents in small groups about preliminary design ideas.
The proposed, future King Drive/ Bronzeville extension of the Milwaukee Streetcar has the potential to connect people to jobs, attract new businesses, bring new housing options, and improve public open spaces. The City of Milwaukee and the Historic King Drive Business Improvement District are planning for how to ensure residents and business benefit from the potential changes that improved transit could bring to the neighborhood. The only way to make this study successful is to hear from residents. Please attend and bring a neighbor!
Please attend and tell us:
- Where transit oriented development should occur and what it should look like
- What housing options residents need in their neighborhood
- How to make the neighborhood better for walking
This meeting is the third of several community workshops planned. Additional details about the event and the project are on the attached flyer.
A light dinner will be served. We appreciate your time in helping shape the future of your neighborhood.
