Proposal Would Extend I-794 Through Oak Creek

A potential footprint, crossings, ramps and other elements for extending Interstate 794 through Oak Creek will be presented at a Feb. 29 public hearing.

I-794, also known as the Lake Parkway, would be extended to Highway 100 in Oak Creek under preliminary plans. Residents can get more information about a possible extension and weigh in with their thoughts at the Feb. 29 meeting, according to County Supervisor Pat Jursik's latest newsletter.

Jursik chairs the Advisory Committee on the Lake Parkway Extension, which is recommending the extension be included in the regional transportation plan.

The meeting will be held at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center, 901 15th Ave. From 6 to 6:30 p.m., residents can view maps and other displays and ask questions of staff in an open house-style format. A presentation of analysis and recommendations will be held at 6:30 p.m.

Jursik's newsletter has more on the proposal and how residents can provide their input, as well as other Milwaukee County-related issues.
