In June 2023, Mayor Cavalier Johnson set a goal to have 50 new miles of protected bikeways completed or in progress by 2026. This morning, at the Mayor's Bike Ride, he shared that we currently have 𝟰𝟭.𝟮 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 toward this goal! View the map for more details: arcgis.com/apps/dashboard…

What a great morning celebrating #WisconsinBikeWeek and taking a ride on some recently completed protected bikeways. Thanks to everyone that participated in the 2024 Mayor Cavalier Johnson Bike Ride!

Look at how much those curbs are moving in (red=old, green=new)! More space for people (walking, biking, and dining) coming to E. Wells Street. Great work by our team City of Milwaukee - DPW in partnership with WisDOT Southeast Region!

In just a couple years, you will be able to hop on a bike in downtown Milwaukee and ride in protected bike lanes the whole way to Sherman and Capitol. It’s something that seemed unfathomable just a few years ago urbanmilwaukee.com/2024/06/26/pro…

This project was a created in partnership with LUNA, LLC, City of Milwaukee - DPW, Near West Side & Sixteenth Street CHC made possible by a Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Initiative Grant. The mural shown was designed by MKE artist, Phoenix S. Brown. tmj4.com/news/milwaukee… Andrea Albers

Have you seen our new bus boarding islands on Van Buren? They were designed in collaboration with our friends RideMCTS . This new bus stop design is not only safer and easier for transit riders, but it also helps with traffic flow, creating safer streets for everyone.

We’re hiring for a Municipal Services Electrician, plus other great City of Milwaukee jobs available at milwaukee.gov/JOBS

We're pleased to share that the 2024 Interim Plaza Grant Program is now open for pre-applications! DPW will provide up to three (3) grants of up to $30K each to eligible orgs to create an interim plaza in the public right of way, creating new gathering spaces across the City. 🧵

DPW is committed to designing streets that are safe & enjoyable for all. Along with ⁦Mayor Cavalier Johnson⁩ today we held an event to highlight how our infrastructure designs have been successful in slowing down speeds all over the city. But this is only the beginning Milwaukee.

Let’s go y’all. A deserving corridor for this critical investment for so many reasons. Thanks to our Federal partners U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Admn Sen. Tammy Baldwin!

As we always say, this is only the beginning. More protected bike lanes and calmed streets coming to the City of Milwaukee.

Shoutout to Randy for noticing all of our new raised crosswalks. Best traveled guy in the city?

The City of Milwaukee was awarded a $25 million federal grant to complete a transformation of Center St from Sherman to Teutonia. The new Center St will feature enhanced pedestrian crossings, protected bike lanes, transit boarding improvements, street trees & traffic calming.

Newly released study shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight. If cities want to reduce speeding, they should install separated/protected bike lanes—it’ll also get more people biking!

Glad to see New York catching up to Wisconsin on this 😉

Georgetown tells Ed Martin exactly where to stick it, in the most Jesuit way possible. (via Josh Chafetz on the other site)
