One or two thoughtful well-considered comments are worth gold. The master planners here are intelligent and they are actually listening, more than you might expect.Joycenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-16952214839490372092009-09-26T11:28:07.675-05:002009-09-26T11:28:07.675-05:00I believe the location is good because it will ver...I believe the location is good because it will very likely trigger large, appropriate development in a part of town that is ripe for massive investment. UWM could send a signal that its school is more than an iconic location (pretty lakeshore) but a worker bee, a working part of the larger city. Being near the KRM commuter rail line sends the word out that Milwaukee wants visitors and development in and around this years-vacant industrial site. In one decision UWM could do a great thing for the future of Milwaukee.<br /><br />Locating the campus closer to the central city will serve as an added boost to rebuilding transit in Milwaukee. Just now the stars are aligned for the building of a streetcar [open house October 8, 2009 from 3-7 p.m. on the first floor of the Zeidler Municipal Building, 841 N. Broadway], If you attend this open house you will see that one expansion direction will be from downtown to Walkers Point and Bay View. Many of us hope UWM will see its role as a catalyst for strategic development appropriate to the central city. Moving their plans away from the natural beauty of the County Grounds would protect this natural setting, well known as a resting spot for the migrating Monarchs.SocratesChildrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522223406060285957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-42379553612198680322009-09-21T18:41:27.682-05:002009-09-21T18:41:27.682-05:00Couldn't agree more that UWM should locate the...Couldn't agree more that UWM should locate the new schools in the near South side.<br /><br />That location could give the area a boost and create more incentive for the mayor's street car line to extend up to UWM and down into Walkers Point.<br /><br />I noticed that UWM hosted an Executive Summit on Sustainability in Jan of 2009 - hopefully they will look to incorporate some of those ideas with the new schools including location...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
