Great work, Lake Park Friends & Milwaukee County Parks! I'm looking forward to walking the path.
Today, paving was completed at the path leading down to Lincoln Memorial Drive from the Summer Stage turnaround. It's much safer and more usable! This was a Lake Park Friends project with rail work done at no charge by Sid Grinker Restoration, and in cooperation with Milwaukee County Parks.

Congratulations to our Milwaukee County Parks for securing a $453,954 grant for trail improvements from the National Park Service!
"The trail project is one of only 19 projects across the US to receive a grant in this round of funding.
The grant will help fund the construction of a new separated, off-road path for the Oak Leaf Trailâs Kinnickinnic Line, approximately one mile, from 16th St to 27th street. As well as the trail construction, the project will include tree plantings, rain gardens and renovation of outdoor recreation facilities.
Pending full approvals and reviews, the design of the new trail is expected to begin in 2022, and construction could begin as early as 2023."

The Village wanted to inform community members that the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will be conducting a parking study in the month of August. The study will consist of the Lake Drive corridor between Edgewood Ave. and Kensington Blvd.; parallel streets of Harcourt Pl., Ridgefield Cir., and Richland Ct.; and side roads of Shorewood Blvd., Jarvis St., Wood Pl. and Olive St. between Downer Ave. and State Hwy. 32 (Lake Dr.).
The study will analyze parking trends on both weekdays and weekends at various times throughout the day. The data will help WisDOT determine a road design concept for the Lake Drive reconstruction project scheduled in 2026. The Village will keep community members informed on the results of the study and any additional steps completed by WisDOT to determine the final road design. The Village thanks WisDOT for taking this step in their analysis to provide more data on the current parking demands along Lake Drive.

My Op-ed in the Shepherd Express:
In the 1980s, the county had over 1,300 full time Parks employees. Parks now has only 240 full time employees and a fraction of the seasonal staff had in the past.

Bar Exam: Milwaukee County Parks Traveling Beer Garden Returns
Rare non-casualty of pandemic has run annually since 2014.
McKinley Beach will remain closed this summer.
As we head into summer, please take steps to stay safe at our lakefront and obey all posted signs.
Racial inequity heightens the risk of current shifts at McKinley Beach, but Port Washingtonâs high-tech warning system offers a possible solution.
Yesterday was a beautiful day for the first day of the Traveling Beer Garden's stop at Juneau Park. Thank you to Sprecher Brewery for being such great partners. Revenue from our beer gardens helps to support our Milwaukee County Parks!

"We have a crisis going on here. We have summer coming and itâs going to be a hot summer, kids want to jump in the water, parents want their kids to be safe, they trust lifeguards."
Milwaukee County parks is seeking around 300 strong swimmers for lifeguard positions. The lifeguard shortage has been a problem for years now.
I was glad to vote to recommend this project at today's Parks, Energy, and Environment Committee meeting. This will be a great addition to Wilson Park.
I'm looking forward to first meeting of the expanded Health Equity, Human Needs and Strategic Planning committee! County Supervisor Felesia Martin will be chairing the meeting.

Protecting our Milwaukee County Parks, homes, and other assets along the lakefront is important. I was glad to co-sponsor this resolution.
Homes and public assets along the Great Lakes are under threat due to erosion accelerated by climate change. The Great Lakes Erosion Control loan program would help individuals and local governments deal with this ongoing problem. I thank my colleagues on the Intergovernmental Relations Committee for recognizing the importance of this issue.
I am worried about the summer. What are we going to do if we don't have enough guards? Swim lessons and safe activities for our youth are important for our entire community.
Milwaukee County officials are calling on the community for help after recent numbers show the number of lifeguards the county will have for the upcoming summer season is not where they should be.
