The Milwaukee RiverWalk is already pretty great, but there's still work than can be done.
Jeramey Jannene writes:
The Milwaukee RiverWalk is a success by any measure. It’s used in marketing materials for the city. It has re-knit the city’s connection with its namesake river. And last, but not least, the system has produced a billion dollars in increased property values for the $52 million invested in its creation. Impressive. But could it be better?
The public-private partnership is reportedly 83 percent complete, but Jannene has his mind on ways to improve the RiverWalk, so he gathered details on five big ideas:
- Install and Better Signage
- More Placemaking
- How About Some Events?
- Better Connect with the City
- Plan for the Future
According to Jannene, the city will soon turn its attention to the Menomonee Valley Riverwalk Plan.
