DYK? Spin scooters in the downtown area are equipped with Drover technology that detects when you're riding on the sidewalk and beeps until you return to the street. Don't forget - riding on the sidewalk is illegal in Milwaukee.

This is such a great story about a wonderful, city-supported investment that turned a problematic bar into a beautiful tea destination for all in the Crisol Corridor.
Urbal Tea's a cafe and tea bar at 3060-3062 S. 13th St. helped redevelop a Milwaukee building which last housed a problem tavern.
Over 20 years ago I sat in this gallery as a City Hall intern. I gave many tours of our beautiful City Hall and often dreamed about my future.
Today I sit on the other side, the Common Council Chambers.
This past year has taught me to savor each moment and celebrate the light.
I’m here today in this chair first and foremost because the great people of the 14th District elected me to serve our neighborhood and it is a great honor.
After two long years of campaigning followed by the pandemic, it feels a bit more authentic than I could have imagined. Thank you to my family and husband Eduardo Jaime for the neverending support of a demanding and rewarding position that I take incredibly seriously.
I’m here today as a mother, daughter, wife, stepmother, sister, friend, neighbor, MPS graduate, much more but mostly as a lover of our city. Milwaukee has a way to disappoint you at times but you never give up on it. We will have honest deliberations in this chamber and it is here in the People’s House that we will vote on the largest investment ever to rebuild our city, together.
Let’s keep up the work!
We did it! 💖 the 414!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our in person townhall meeting at the Humboldt Park Beer Garden tonight!
It was wonderful to finally see so many neighbors.
Special thanks to the city departments who came to meet directly with our constituents and answer questions: DCD, DPW, DNS, DPW-Sanitation, MPD, and MFD!
There’s nothing more American than democracy and I appreciate the opportunity to meet with the people who elected me to serve and respond personally to your concerns.
Together we will move Milwaukee forward.
The weather cleared up just in time !
See you soon!

We have been getting questions about the red and green fire hydrants.
Here’s the word:
In my City of Milwaukee neighborhood, I've noticed that Department of Public Works crews have been out painting fire hydrants. Some of them have been getting green tops. I didn't know why. So, I asked.

What a day! In today’s “Around the 14th” we took a pause from eating and drinking to help families in Milwaukee!
We visited Milwaukee Diaper Mission on diaper distribution day. We helped pack and load hundreds of diapers and wipes for Next Door to give to families in need.
Did you know that Milwaukee Diaper Mission is 💯 volunteer run AND provides period supplies ?
Every child deserves to be clean, safe and healthy. No family should have to worry about where their next box of diapers and wipes may come from. We’ve seen families struggle before and during the pandemic so let’s do something about it. As a mom, I know firsthand how expensive diapers and wipes can be -it’s part of our own monthly budget!
I want to live in a Milwaukee where every baby has enough diapers and wipes and every person who needs period supplies has them readily available at all times.
We have provided free WiFi, food and now child tax credits to relieve families in this pandemic -let’s be sure children have all they need to not just survive -but thrive.
We cast our family vote for the new Zilman Park redesign tonight at Bay View Gallery Night!
The 🛴 post:
As I have said and demonstrated many times-I truly support all types of public transportation-especially anything that helps reduce cars on the streets.
The City has started their second pilot program including e-scooters. Our office has received numerous complaints during this pilot and we ask that you use these tools to file complaints with the pilot so that they can be properly complied and evaluated as the pilot concludes.
I am disappointed to see very little helmet use, minors riding scooters, scooters parked on sidewalks without allowing space for pedestrians or wheelchairs, and scooters driven on sidewalks.
We as a city need to get to the root of some of these issues such as creating more safe bike lanes and better road conditions for all.
Scooters Parked on the Sidewalk: Scooters are allowed to be parked on sidewalks as long as they provide a 5' accessible path.
Operators are required to notify users of this requirement by posting this information on each device. Scooters should not be parked in curb ramps, driveways, alleys, or bus stops. Additional details can be found in Section 11.7 of our Terms and Conditions. If issues are observed, they can be reported here:
Visiting milwaukee.gov/ScooterOperators
Selecting "Dockless Scooter Problems" from the home screen of the Milwaukee Mobile Action app (it's the second option currently)
Calling 286-CITY and selecting menu option 3 (the menu states "for problems with dockless scooters, please press 3")
We can track complaints via these methods and we also receive a monthly report of complaints received by operator.
Scooters are Driven on the Sidewalk: The first round of independent sidewalk counts are starting tomorrow and will go through 7/9. Full details of the counts and what the consultant will be doing are available here. In summary, any operator with more than 10% of riders on the sidewalk in Zone 1 will be prohibited from operating in Zone 1, and any operator with more than 10% sidewalk riding in Zones 2-6 will be required to show measurable actions towards reducing sidewalk riding, with the possibility of future prohibitions in those Zones. The results of these counts and required next steps will be shared with the operators by 7/14.
Affordable land and leasing costs, abundant fresh water, an educated workforce, low business costs and easy access to financing, technical assistance and efficient transportation have helped local businesses succeed and grow.
Milwaukee City Hall reopened to employees and the public this week.
Today I chaired my very first city committee meeting as Alderwoman in our committee room at City Hall. Exciting!

In today’s “Around the 14th” we visited Lion's Tooth, a female, immigrant and independently owned bookstore cafe.
So what’s with the name?
The name Lion's Tooth is a reference to dandelions, those stubborn masters of survival (from the French dent-de-lion).
Did you know that there is a rad Zine collection AND children’s area?
You can also join their fun happy hour Monday-Saturday 5-7 and grab a book, drink and snack- and soon take it all outside!!!!!
Last but not least you do not want to miss Bay View Gallery night with Milwaukee artist Ethan Krause brings his collaborative project The Famous Hairdos of Popular Music to Lion’s Tooth. Everyone is invited to join the fun and draw with us. Christopher Roberts DJs.
Shelly McClone Carriere and Cris Siqueira are waiting to welcome you!
PS-check out my cool shirt!
A great way to start the day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
