I have mixed feelings, but hope that they are successful in their efforts… it would suck to see it decay there for another 20 years while they struggle to find the appropriate funding.
Im really glad to see such thorough consideration placed on the removal options… they are my favorite out of the 9 & im glad that they are sorting out the biggest potential issue with them (the bridge)…
I do wonder, what percentage of bridge openings are for boats that arent edelweiss or mke boat line?
I ask because i wonder if the cheapest/most efficient solution would be to just fund the replacement of the companys’ current fleets (what is it, like 4 boats total between both companies) with newer boats that are shorter.
Woah! Another venue… crazy how many music venues are being planned. Either milwaukee is vastly underserved, or there is about to be a lot of volatility in the local venue market.
Tbh, i dont go to many concerts, but pretty excited to see this proposal & hope it attracts artists who arent locked into live nation contracts. I just hope the venue is designed tastefully (aka not a giant parking garage with an undersized music venue sticking out the side)
This is very exciting! Excited to see how extensive the renovations will be (ex, will they be like walnut st with its grade separated buike lanes, or will it be like 6th st with jersey barriers/flexi posts)
