The City of Milwaukee is working on a project to create multimodal connections between two existing projects on Sherman Boulevard and Lisbon Avenue. This project will span Sherman Boulevard from North Avenue to Lisbon Avenue and Lisbon Avenue from Sherman Boulevard to 40th Street.

This project is an opportunity to improve safety and mobility for everyone who uses the street, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers.

The City of Milwaukee is looking for feedback on two alternatives for routing bikes through the project area. Review the materials below and provide your feedback in the survey.

Community Engagement
