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 Alderman Kovac’s 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.
