Project Overview

This project will develop pedestrian and transit focused improvements on S. César Chávez Drive from W. Mitchell Street to W. Pierce Street. The project will focus on making the street safer, more comfortable and more accessible for people walking and taking the bus.

César Chávez Drive is home to many residents, shops, community services, parks, and schools. César Chávez Drive is also a major corridor with high frequency Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) Routes. However, the corridor has some of the highest rates of severe and fatal crashes involving pedestrians.

Improvements include:

  • Bus bulbs at Greenfield Avenue, Scott Street and Mineral Street
  • Upgrade paint and delineator post curb extensions to attached, concrete curb extensions at Greenfield and Muskego Avenue intersection
  • Bus stop relocation at National Avenue
  • Pavement markings throughout the corridor, including high visibility crosswalks
