Let me just say a couple of things. Why are we so fricking concerned over this bike trail. No one has ever died or got severly injured from trying to cross milwaukee street. I use the trail very often, and It's not hard to use the one thing we all learned as a kid and that is TO LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS. Also the cars that see pedestrians in the crosswalk most of the time stop. The traffic on that part of milwaukee street from 8am to 10am and 3pm to 6pm is crazy. If you put this part of milwaukee street to 2 lanes, we'll need rush hour traffic reports. There will be backups on the corner of wright rd. and milwaukee street at these times. City needs to put money elsewhere like helping small businesses from failing, helping downtown get bigger, etc. If we redo milwaukee street, are they going to start redoing all the streets that the bike trail passes over?
