Milwaukee County Hosting Workshops for Community to Share Input on Street Safety Improvements
MILWAUKEE COUNTY – This summer, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley signed legislation affirming Milwaukee County’s commitment to Vision Zero and combatting reckless driving, traffic violence, and fatal and serious injury crashes by the year 2037.
“Enhancing the safety of our roads is one of the most important issues facing the health, well-being, and economic vitality of our community. We simply must increase multimodal safety and reduce reckless driving,” said County Executive Crowley. “I am encouraging community members to attend one of our upcoming workshops to provide input about making our roads safer for all who use them – because lives depend on it.”
The Safer Streets Workshops will be an open house format with informational materials and activities designed for residents to provide opinions on which safe streets solutions may work best on the roadways and intersections they use every day. Two workshops have already taken place on the Northwest Side at the Milwaukee Public Library Good Hope Branch and on the North Shore at the Whitefish Bay Public Library.
