A Vision for the Milwaukee River Corridor
Milwaukee’s Central Park?

While the City is undertaking a comprehensive neighborhood plan, a group of people have been ahead of the curve in protecting a valued asset.  The Milwaukee River Workgroup is preparing an overlay district that will provide temporary limits on development to protect the river ‘viewshed’.  The boundaries of the overlay district include areas of Cambridge Woods.  Come join the discussion on what the overlay district means and share your vision for the river corridor.

Oakland Avenue / University Square Business District
Oakland Avenue is a well traveled thoroughfare on Milwaukee’s Eastside between Milwaukee’s downtown and northern suburbs. The business district has gone through several changes with some additional proposed changes underway. How can a small neighborhood shopping area be all things to all people and create its own identity? Please join the BID’s Executive Director, Jim Plaisted, in hearing about new business ventures, street improvements, and discussing a vision for the area.

Public Participation in Community Planning Using the Image Preference Survey
Representatives of the North East Area Plan are seeking public outreach opportunities for administering the Image Preference Survey. The IPS is a planning method that uses a visual series of questions that draws out responses from groups of people. For best results, it should be given to a wide range of plan area residents. The survey includes some discussion slides to help clarify the image rankings–so it is the residents who interpret the scores, not others.
For additional information, visit the Department of City Development web site at www.mkedcd.org/planning/plans/Northeast Here you will also find a direct link to the Community Survey, which is another public outreach method used in the planning of the North Eastside. The Community Survey is an important way the city can learn what is happening in your neighborhood today and the Image Preference Survey will assist in what changes would make the Northeast Side…a better place in the future!
