• The Historic Third Ward is one of most vibrant and fast-growing Milwaukee neighborhoods

• The Milwaukee Public Market as evolved into the third largest tourist draw in the metro area.

  This success was not inevitable...thirty years ago the Third Ward had 3 registered voters. Forty years ago the then Third Ward alderman proposed designating the ward as the city’s red light district.

I am proud to have played a significant role in this success during my tenure representing the Third Ward on the Common Council:

• Chair of the Third Ward Architectural Review Board - which has reviewed and approved every real estate development, building renovation, and public space installation in the Third Ward.

• Initiated the project to develop the boulevard on Milwaukee St.

• Ensured that the HOP Streetcar was routed through the Third Ward. The Public Market is now the busiest stop.

• Initiated the installation of many traffic control devices, traffic calming measures, street scaping projects and pedestrian amenities.

• Sponsored the legislation that authorized the development of the river walk.

• Sponsored the legislation that authorized the creation of the Erie St. Plaza and Trestle Park.

• Supported the historic designation of the Miller Tavern, opposed the plan to demolish this structure and worked to facilitate the donation of this building to the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance.

• Sponsored the legislation approving the Third Ward Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Architectural Design Guidelines.

• Played a major role in the redesign of the Lake Interchange of I-794.

With your help, I look forward to continuing to use my experience, passion and knowledge to guide the growth and vibrancy of the Historic Third Ward.
