Sen. Larson set to present petitions supporting Hoan Bridge bike path

State Sen. Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee) plans to beat the deadline for commenting on the proposals for a bike and pedestrian lane on the Hoan Bridge and deliver petitions with 5,000 signatures Tuesday afternoon.

Larson will present the show of support to the Wisconsin Department of Transporation officials gathering input on the bike lane alternatives presented last month. Ranging in cost from $9.5 million to $95.5 million, the alternatives are being reviewed as part of the planning for a large-scale rehabilitation of the bridge connecting bike paths in Bay View and downtown Milwaukee.

The deadline for submitting comments to the DOT is 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Comments should be directed to Carolynn Gellings, WisDOT Project Manager carolynn.gellings@dot.wi.gov.
