Body: Whereas, A detailed strategic action plan has been prepared, which is titled the Walker's Point Strategic Action Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File; and Whereas, Recent developments in the Walker's Point district have necessitated a more refined analysis and updated strategy to further the goals of the Near South Side Area Comprehensive Plan and related projects in the district; and Whereas, The Strategic Action Plan was created to supplement the City's existing Comprehensive Plan that contains the Walker's Point district in order to identify priority sites susceptible to change in the district, determine infrastructure needs and establish implementation strategies to best achieve economic success in the district; and Whereas, The creation of the Strategic Action Plan involved extensive public outreach, input and cooperation with the public and district stakeholders similar to the public process followed in the development of the City's thirteen Area Comprehensive Plans; and Whereas, On September 21, 2004, the Common Council adopted File No. 040565, setting forth an Evaluation, Update and Amendment Procedure for amending Area Comprehensive Plans; and Whereas, That procedure, including a properly noticed public hearing, has been followed; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, approves the Walker's Point Strategic Action Plan as recommended by the City Plan Commission and amends the Near South Side Area Comprehensive Plan with the inclusion of the Strategic Action Plan as an element of the City's Overall Comprehensive Plan; and, be it Further Resolved, That the amended Area Comprehensive Plan, as approved, shall include, as an appendix, a text reference to consult the Strategic Action Plan as a supplement to provide further guidance and serve as the basis for decision-making by the Common Council in its consideration of matters related to and located within the Walker's Point district; and, be it City of Milwaukee Page 1 Printed on 7/6/2015 Certified Copy of Resolution 141266 Further Resolved, That the Department of City Development, the Department of Neighborhood Services, the Department of Public Works and other appropriate City departments and agencies are directed to work toward implementation of the Strategic Action Plan; and, be it Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Department of City Development is authorized to send copies of the Strategic Action Plan to the parties identified in it as having responsibility for implementation of said Strategic Action Plan for their reference and use. I, James R.

July 06, 2015 James R. Owczarski Date Certified City of Milwaukee Page 2 Printed on 7/6/2015 iv Executive Summary This strategic action plan for Walker’s Point, home to some of Milwaukee’s most creative businesses and organizations, was undertaken primarily to accomplish the following: (1) Create a template (value statements, guidelines, and actions) that will allow for new development, but also keep the Walker’s Point neighborhood livable and affordable, and preserve its best features as perceived by the people who live, work, invest, and arguably have made it the desirable place that it is. (2) Working with the Department of Public Works, develop a series of improvements to streets and other public rights-of-way to improve the walkability and bikeability of the Walker’s Point neighborhood. (3) Discuss possible solutions to ongoing challenges for the neighborhood: affordable hous- ing, lack of neighborhood-serving businesses, the need for a business organization to shep- herd growth, and others. (4) Discuss ways to reinforce (not lose with an influx of new development) the character that people find desirable and continue to provide real support for a neighborhood that is in the words of many of its longtime residents--diverse, LGBT-friendly, affordable, sustain- able, self-reliant, inventive and authentic. (5) Pursue catalytic projects capable of sparking new investment. Reinvent S. 5th and S. 6th Streets and National Avenue as a Creative Corridor--a kind of arts, culture and entertain- ment district with broad appeal to residents and visitors to the area. Consider the merits of a local historic district on S. 2nd St. Promote an “Innovation Initiative” (the integration of mixed use, creative collaboration and high tech). As new riverfront projects come online, extend the riverwalk with public access and green space. Use the creative place making techniques suggested by UWM students to enliven commercial corridors. (6) Consider suggested remedies for a parking shortage from a Parking Study conducted by GRAEF Engineers, Architects and Planners, along with some comparisons between Mil- waukee and other cities. For example, the Study mentions a shortage of shared or public parking, not a shortage of parking lots. (7) Establish goals for development that the city can use as a guideline for approving (or not approving) new development in Walker’s Point--specifically special or limited uses and De- tailed Plan Developments. For example, as the city reviews post-industrial

    Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

    Jadiya et al. acta neuropathol commun (2021) 9:124 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40478-021-01224-4 REVIEW Open Access Reappraisal of metabolic dysfunction in neurodegeneration: Focus on mitochondrial function and calcium signaling Pooja Jadiya, Joanne F. Garbincius and John W. Elrod* Abstract The cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive neurodegeneration remain poorly defned. Recent clinical trial fail- ures, difcult diagnosis, uncertain etiology, and lack of curative therapies prompted us to re-examine other hypothe- ses of neurodegenerative pathogenesis. Recent reports establish that mitochondrial and calcium dysregulation occur early in many neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and others. However, causal molecular evidence of mitochondrial and metabolic contributions to pathogen- esis remains insufcient. Here we summarize the data supporting the hypothesis that mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction result from diverse etiologies of neuropathology. We provide a current and comprehensive review of the literature and interpret that defective mitochondrial metabolism is upstream and primary to protein aggregation and other dogmatic hypotheses of NDDs. Finally, we identify gaps in knowledge and propose therapeutic modulation of 2 mCa + exchange and mitochondrial function to alleviate metabolic impairments and treat NDDs.

Walzer A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2017 ABSTRACT MAKING AN OLD-WORLD MILWAUKEE: GERMAN HERITAGE, NOSTALGIA AND THE RESHAPING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY CITY by Joseph B. Walzer The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Rachel Buff This dissertation examines the importance of white ethnicity, and especially Germanness, in the “civic branding” and urban restructuring efforts of city officials, civic boosters, and business leaders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the mid-to-late twentieth century. Scholars have increasingly identified the significant roles the “revival” of European ethnic identities played in maintaining white racial privilege in response to the Civil Rights Movement since the 1960s.
