OnMilwaukee.com: Free parking for Christmas?

Milwaukee Alderman Robert Bauman is certainly not the Grinch. In fact, he is presenting two resolutions with the Commissioner of Public Works that will benefit the residents of his district. One resolution would prevent enforcement of parking meter regulations on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Jeff Sherman, OMC Staff Writer, reports that many city residents forget that the meters do not have the holidays off. This resolution will be presented to the Common Council when it meets on December 12.

Bauman's second resolution would make his streets safer for pedestrians. His proposal would give neighborhoods the power to ask the city to construct a device on dangerous streets. Examples of such a device would include roundabouts, "speed humps", or "bump outs." Bump outs are currently being used on the heavily traveled Brady Street.

Both of these resolutions could be in place by New Years Day. Click here to read the details of Bauman's resolutions>>>
