Any strategies to cope with the MI distracted driving law?
You answered your own question in Your post. Use the voice commands. Dont like the voice commands? Then take the bus.
Like really?! Entertained & productive while operating heavy machinery at high speeds? Give me a break.

Oak Leaf Trail Projects Could Start in 2024
The oak leaf trail is a real gem! Excited to see it get continued love. Particularly love the idea of a new access point.
Its total pie in the sky, but i would love to see the north and south sections of the trail get connected by utilizing the hoan (like take just 2 of the 6 lanes to create a linear park)

As Milwaukee weighs ending single-family-only zoning, public feedback sought
Here is more info if youre interested :) https://engage.milwaukee.gov/growingmke
All the recommendations & presentation material are here as well as a survey and other contact info.
Its actually a really cool change that (IMO) will really benefit the city. Went to the open house yesterday & was impressed. As OPs article mentions, it really focuses on encouraging small scale multi-family dwellings like duplexes, ADUs, townhouses, etc.

Construction Underway On First Iron District Building
Awesome! So excited to see this development underway!
I wish the housing aspect of it was more ambitious (just looks a bit uninspired & small for such a site), but am excited to see it being built nonetheless.

Milwaukee Common Council passes 2% sales tax aimed at averting a financial crisis
Wow. Such a tough subject. Sounds like a pretty somber “yes” vote from our aldermen. Glad to hear about their intent to pursue legal action though.
Also, i cant get over the fact that the paraprofessional makes less than 20k. The fact that we as society put such little value into the people responsible for our children is very upsetting.

Committee Backs 4 Streetcar Extensions
I hope they are able to secure funding! The proposed extensions make a lot of sense & will make the system far more useful. Particularly looking forward to the Brady street extension.

The Hop sees continued increase in ridership since 2020
If the tiny downtown loop gets this much ridership, imagine what sort of ridership it could get with expansion.

Not your typical port of call: Wisconsin now a destination for cruise ships
Ngl, the cutting edge viking ships look super cool! See them all the time in milwaukee.
Unfortunately, theyre obscenely expensive.. like minimum 6000 for their shortest great lakes cruise. The ships only hold like 300 people

I read somewhere $300 per square foot (aka 1000square ft for $3000 per month). Will try to dig up the article (think it was on urban milwaukee)

Stay safe out there everybody! This is crazy
It really is crazy! Visibility is super low, lots of people with masks, and a high uv index on top of it lol. Hopefully it will dissipate soon.
Whats crazier are the restaurants who still think today is a good day to open all their windows lol. Walked past one downtown today & felt so bad for the workers.

See The State’s Design Concepts For Replacing Or Rebuilding Interstate 794
So awesome! Been waiting forever for them to release their proposals! Excited to see them finally arrive :)
I agree that freeway removal option 2 seems best & will most certainly be attending all the public meetings to advocate for it. NGL though, I'd honestly be pretty thrilled with most of the options they presented... They all seem like a really significant upgrade for walkability through downtown, particularly improvement options 2/5/6. I'm really impressed with what they came up with.

Donors Interested in Saving Mitchell Park | But not necessarily saving the domes. Local supervisor, Parks and philanthropic community moving toward a new Mitchell Park project.
I know its a super unpopular opinion, but i wouldnt mind seeing the domes torn down/replaced with a new botanical garden.
I find the domes to be rather underwhelming compared to other botanical gardens & find the facility to be rather inefficiently laid out.
I think losing the domes with no botanical garden replacement would be a big loss for the city, but dont really see the domes themselves as particularly worth saving.

Unfortunately, Amtrak has cut bicycle capacity on Hiawatha Service. But bike-friendly Venture cars are coming. - Streetsblog Chicago
Man, that sucks! Talk about a logistics nightmare!
Hopefully the venture cars come sooner rather than later.. the tweet saying that they are “many months away” doesnt really inspire confidence though.
I feel like every time i take the hiawatha there are always a couple bicyclists waiting for the train.
