New protective bike lanes

Crews are installing 'protected' bike lanes along North Avenue between the east end of the bridge over the Milwaukee River and Prospect Avenue, on Milwaukee's east side. Alderman Jonathan Brostoff, who represents the 3rd district, said in a statement Thursday that crews will start with that stretch along North Avenue. More protected bike lanes will be installed along Prospect between North and Maryland. Department of Public Works crews are scheduled to start work on Friday, Aug. 4.
