Good project, but not a good location in my opinion. I would much rather see solar panels on one of dozens of MATC roofs instead of taking up what COULD be a large open space/recreational area along the Milwaukee River. In the City's NE Side Comprehensive Plan, this area was envisioned as a potential recreational area that could still cap the toxins on site, but provide a nice open space along the river. My two cents.
I agree with the River keeper. We should keep what is possibly green- green...for grass,trees, insects, animals that provide the base of our food cycle (let's don't forget the important role of photosynthesis in cleaner air, cleaner water, and biodiversity that existed). We also can use such greens for recreational purposes and a relationship with nature. We have sq. miles of buildings that can support solar panels and solar thermal and use the renewable energy on the spot.

Why, thank you, righty commenters:
"Jimbo, I'll give you credit; you are like the mosquitoes in Alaska, you never go away."
And on my Purple WI blog:
"I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually have to agree with Jimmy on the [proposed, new $200 million] DOT building. If the current place is functional, why do we need a new one? PS: As usual, the rest of his article is complete liberal garbage."
