The street enhancement project scheduled for W. Greenfield Ave. between S. 16th St. (Cesar Chavez Dr.) and S. 27th St. (Layton Blvd.) will be constructed this year, Ald. Donovan said.
"I'm very pleased that the Department of Public Works has informed me that the Greenfield streetscaping project will see work in 2007," said Ald. Donovan. "The work will enhance safety along Greenfield Ave. and make the street that much more attractive to businesses and residents."
The W. Greenfield Ave. work will include decorative street lights such as harp lanterns, decorative crosswalks, street furniture, pedestrian bump-outs at some intersections, and a bicycle lane. Working with the Milwaukee Alliance, Ald. Donovan helped obtain a $620,000 federal grant to pay for 80% of the work.
A second 8th Aldermanic District streetscaping enhancement project – W. National Ave. from S. 27th to S. 38th Streets – is scheduled for construction in 2008. The project, being developed in partnership with Layton Boulevard West Neighbors and the Silver City Main Street businesses, will cost $700,000 and will provide money for historic street lighting, improved bicycle and pedestrian features and crosswalk treatments.
