Milwaukee leaders say streets beyond Brady could go car-free to increase pedestrian safety

This Sunday, 32-year-old Arne Bast will be laid to rest. He was hit by a driver on Brady Street and died last week, becoming the most recent victim of reckless driving in Milwaukee. The incoming Alderman, who will be an important voice in the conversation about a potential shift to pedestrian-only, has had some close calls while walking and biking. He believes Brady Street is not the only area of the city that could benefit from banning cars. Representative Jonathan Brostoff is next in line to represent Milwaukee's 3rd District, which includes Brady Street. He is the lone candidate on the November ballot. High on his priority list is shifting the perception that city streets are designed for cars, and cars only.
