Walking tours with the Reimagining WIS 175 Study Team will begin Monday, Oct. 2. The tours start at 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., respectively. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee are working on a study to rethink the WIS 175, also known as the Stadium Freeway or the Stadium Spur. This six-lane freeway, constructed in 1962, impacted Washington Park and other properties as part of a larger freeway network that was never built.  The Reimagining WIS 175 Study seeks to examine alternatives for the future WIS 175 corridor. Meet in the parking lot of the Washington Park Senior Center, 4420 W. Vliet St., to begin the walk. More information here.
