Community Walk for Transit Advocacy

  • Palermo's Villa, Inc. 3301 West Canal Street Milwaukee, WI, 53208 United States (map)

Event Overview:

For HR leaders, Valley employees, area residents, commuters, and transit enthusiasts: please join us for a 1.2-mile walk from the future BRT hub at 27th and Wisconsin down into the Valley. Participants will experience the current conditions for commuters along the route, and will provide input on the types of pedestrian enhancements they’d like to see in the corridor.

Following the walk, a discussion will be held at Palermo’s Villa, Inc. where we can chat about our experience and brainstorm ideas for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit safety enhancements for the future. Pizza will be provided!

Your discussion feedback will contribute to the MobiliSE Advocacy Action Plan to help improve pedestrian safety. To register for this event and more information: Click Here!
