Community weighs in on future safety improvements on Oklahoma Ave.

The City of Milwaukee is starting a project to improve safety along Oklahoma Ave. between 27th and 6th streets.

"Which means it sees a high number of serious injuries and fatal pedestrian crashes compared to other streets in the city," Amsden explained.
