The City of Milwaukee is designing a traffic safety improvement project on Walnut Street-Lisbon Avenue, spanning from 40th Street to 20th Street. This project will create a safer street environment that is more comfortable for people walking, biking, driving and taking transit.

The project will include protected bike lanes to enhance connections between Washington Park, residential areas of Washington Park, Walnut Hill, and Midtown neighborhoods, and downtown Milwaukee. Furthermore, the project will also improve bus service for MCTS Bus Route #57, which currently serves this corridor.

This corridor has been identified as a high crash area and making safety improvements is a priority in the final project design.

This project will include:

• Protected bike lanes
• Bus boarding islands
• Pedestrian safety improvements, such as high visibility crosswalks and bump outs
