  • Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Executive Summary
    Watershed Restoration Plan Menomonee River Chapter 1: Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Executive Summary 1.1 Introduction The primary purpose of this Watershed Restoration Plan (WRP) is to identify specific actions that can be implemented between 2010 and 2015 to improve water quality within the Menomonee River and its tributaries and present general recommendations for activity beyond 2015. These actions have been identified based upon a consideration of many factors, including overall effectiveness, scientific underpinning, regulatory considerations, and stakeholder goals. This WRP describes the characteristics of the Menomonee River and its watershed, focusing on those topics that are directly related to implementation (Figure 1-1). Information provided includes existing (Baseline Year 2000) and Year 2020 land uses, Baseline Year 2000 and Year 2020 water quality conditions, and the most significant sources of pollution. Water quality goals selected by the Southeastern Wisconsin Watersheds Trust, Inc. (SWWT), based upon scientific, regulatory, and stakeholder considerations, are also presented and explained, as are the load reductions that will be needed to meet those goals. The reductions are based upon projected loads for the Year 2020 and as such account for future growth. This WRP is the culmination of historical and recent activity to protect and restore water quality within the greater Milwaukee region. Most significantly, it builds upon the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) Regional Water Quality Management Plan Update (RWQMPU) and Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) 2020 Facilities Plan and incorporates the input from members of the SWWT and its associated Menomonee River Watershed Action Team (WAT) and Science Committee. 1.2 Key Elements of the Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan This WRP follows the Clean Water Act guidelines for developing effective watershed plans.

  • Juneau Town/East Town
    Approximate boundaries: N-E. Ogden Ave (partial) E. State St;S -E. Clybourn St; E-E-Lincoln Memorial Dr;W -Milwaukee River DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION East Town (also known as Juneau Town) is a densely populated neighborhood with a variety of housing styles. There are many 19th century houses in the Tudor, Queen Anne and Italianate styles integrated with multi-unit apartment buildings and newer condos. The neighborhood has some wide boulevards with green space in the medians. The streets generally follow a grid pattern; the exceptions to this are Water Street and Prospect Avenue. Water Street tracks the bend of the river and Prospect Avenue follows the curve of the bluff over Lake Michigan along Juneau Park. The topography is flat except for a hill that slopes down to the river beginning around Jefferson Street. Most of Juneau Park is in East Town. There are two monuments in Juneau Park--one is a statue of Solomon Juneau and the other of Leif Erikson. Cathedral Square is a small park in the center of the neighborhood and hosts numerous events throughout the year (see outings section and neighborhood photos below). HISTORY East Town owes its origins to Solomon Juneau. In the 1830s Juneau platted the village of Milwaukee and settled there. He began selling plots of land in what was becoming known as Juneau Town. He set the location for downtown when he and his wife Josette opened a trading post at today’s Water Street and Wisconsin Avenue. Juneau went on to become the first mayor of Milwaukee in 1846 and the city’s first postmaster.
