Milwaukee County to consider making medical misinformation a public health crisis

My resolution will be considered at the Dec. 8 Health Equity, Human Needs, and Strategic Planning Committee meeting.

Milwaukee Supervisor and OB-GYN Dr. Sheldon Wasserman is asking his fellow county board members to declare health misinformation a public health crisis in Milwaukee County. The county board has done this before on other issues, including declaring racism a public health crisis in Milwaukee County.

Milwaukee County parks face looming 'fiscal cliff.' Other communities may offer a path forward.

We are treading water with someone pulling us from under.

While facing revenue constraints, the Parks Department is contending with an infrastructure repair backlog of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sinking Treasure

This is the latest report on the many challenges facing our Milwaukee County Parks. I'm looking forward to continuing my work with the Wisconsin Policy Forum and investigating the possible solutions outlined here.

The financial challenges facing the Milwaukee County Parks have been well-documented by county officials and auditors and several blue ribbon commissions over the past two decades. The Wisconsin Policy Forum itself has spent considerable time researching the scope of those challenges and their cause...

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 Trail’s 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.
