Milwaukee River Overlay Zone
After years of community outreach and negotiations with property owners and the Department of City Development, the Common Council is now poised this summer to convert the temporary study overlay into permanent zoning and design guidelines. This zoning would help to preserve the aesthetic and function of our river and can provide for continued use of and greening of the area.
Please explore the new draft and send comments this April and May to my office, to the co-sponsors Alderwoman Coggs and Alderman Hamilton, to the Mayor, and to the Milwaukee River Work Group. After processing information from the community, we are hoping to pass the final version in May.

IN:SITE Park East Corridor Project
Fostering temporary public art in Milwaukee County since the spring of 2006, a Milwaukee based arts group named IN:SITE is working with the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County and private property owners to transform the Park East Corridor. The temporary art project will culminate in 11 installations on sixteen blocks of the corridor. The City of Milwaukee Arts Board initiated this project by voting unanimously to provide over $11,000 for artist stipends. The project invites pedestrians, bikers, people who ride the bus, and drivers to explore the Park East Corridor. Thirteen local artists have come forward with bold, diverse projects. All the art will be in place by August 23, when there will be a week of activities August 23-30.
Play the video at left to view the August 24th press conference about IN:SITE.

Sponsors and hosts for the art include, but are not limited to, the following: the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Ruvin Development Inc., Mandel Group, Laacke & Joys, Big Bend Development, The Flatiron, M&I Bank, Time Warner Cable, The Moderne LLC, RSC Developers, Grace Lutheran Church, Riverfront Plaza and Village Church.

MPD Changes Affect All 3rd District Neighborhoods
The Milwaukee Police Department has made re-districting changes that affect the 3rd Aldermanic District. The changes, implemented in July, were announced by Police Chief Edward Flynn in June as a means of reducing the levels of crime, fear, and disorder through community-based, problem-oriented, and data-driven policing. To view the MPD’s re-drawn district borders, please click here.
Alderman Kovac said the re-districting affects the 3rd District in the following ways: Police District One will now serve areas east of the Milwaukee River and District Five will serve areas west of the Milwaukee River. The community liaison officers for each district will remain the same – Officer Mark Buetow for District One and Officer Ray Robakowski for District Five. The commanders for each district have changed – Capt. Patrick Mitchell is in command of District One and Capt. Edith Hudson is in command at District Five. (The chief has sole authority to implement the re-districting.)
