Local alderwoman listens to neighbors' concerns during walks through Milwaukee neighborhoods

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- There's FaceTime and then there's face-to-face time. In addition to responding to phone calls, letters and emails, a Milwaukee City Leader is taking her office to the streets.

"Whether it's drug dealing, a police issue, or a city issue, for neighbors to let us know so it can be immediately addressed," said Alderwoman Milele Coggs.

Alderwoman Coggs goes on walks in Milwaukee neighborhoods a few times a week in the summer.

She was joined by the Milwaukee Police Department and members of other city agencies.

Coggs says she hopes addressing any issues residents may have will help them lead a better quality of life and improve their neighborhood.
