A glimpse into the future of downtown Milwaukee 20 years from now

Milwaukee city leaders and the downtown business improvement district have been working on plans to reimagine the downtown area over the next two decades.
They welcomed public input during an open house on Wednesday and shared what they have come up with so far drawing dozens of people. Project leaders are looking at the potential in everything from housing to business to public space.
Early ideas included redesigning the areas near Water Street and Juneau Avenue, along with Kilbourn and Plankinton by widening sidewalks, adding protected bike lanes, and narrowing car lanes to make space for bigger bus shelters.

The year is 2040 & the Milwaukee Bucks have just relocated to Waukesha...

[@trooper40below]

[@Jimmy_Lemke]

Sure, Jan

Believe it or not, I’m from Boston and i would love to live in Milwaukee

[@Grassplant2012]

Not every part of Milwaukee is good though. So beware of the bad places.
So heres a tip: don't live in Lincoln Creek

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

Milwaukee and Boston are both major cities and both cities have pockets of areas that are cesspools of crime and poverty.Your better off in the suburbs because they don't play fair in the city limits of these large u.s. major cities

[@A.I.M7772]

@@Grassplant2012 but we have to realize everywhere have bad areas no place is safe so that would matter to much to me. It is very beautiful

[@Sharmasharma0p12]

[@scampione6018]

Yes low income housing downtown… just to make sure no where in the city is safe and worth visiting

[@fugitive011]

I cant wait to move to the suburbs.

[@coryb7404]

Sounds like you shouldn’t be living anywhere near a city if you hate it so much common sense babe

[@labased2539]

⁠@@coryb7404Some people are born in downtown and aren’t old enough to probably move, I wouldn’t assume someone’s situation. It’s common sense babe.

[@muddywisconsin]

Absolutely love this!

[@johna7564]

Isn’t affordable housing a BAD thing?? Like what happened to Brown Deer.

[@bigvito9008]

or Cabrini Green in Chicago

[@Jimmy_Lemke]

affordable housing doesn't necessarily mean tenements

[@idkidk8278]

So its time to leave Milwaukee. Crime will go way way up

[@auhsz9140]

[@Grassplant2012]

This is why I'm moving to the suburbs where there's less people and stuff.

[@browngreen933]
