MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee city leaders are touting concrete additions and other improvements now in place to curb reckless driving.
"We want our city to be full of activity, for everyone to feel welcome," said Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic. "However, recently we've seen that on this street in particular, traffic speeds have gone up, people are passing on the right, and there's even times where I alter my path."
These projects, paid for with federal Covid relief dollars, will make use of a variety of "traffic calming measures" including signage, high visibility crosswalk markings, traffic circles and pinned-on bump-outs and refuge islands.
