Interested in neighborhood history?

Agreed, this is a very special neighborhood, but why?

• Who were the native people living here and those that followed?
• Why did they settle in this particular spot?
• Why are there so many different designs of houses?
• Why was your home built?

History of Cambridge Woods / Milwaukee River

Oh Yeah, Don’t Forget:

November Elections - Help us find a new president!
Say goodbye to Peter

Traffic circles along with other traffic calming elements have been in place in the Cambridge Woods Neighborhood since 1999. They were first installed as part of regular road reconstruction to help address cut-through traffic and speeds from the two adjacent high volume arterials. Installation of calming elements during regular road construction lessens the fiscal impacts of installation. This brief document is an attempt to respond to some of the frequent concerns and questions that arise concerning traffic circles in the neighborhood and how residents can optimize their existence.
