Milwaukee’s RiverWalk Named a Great Public Space for 2011
The American Planning Association’s Great Places in America program recently selected the Milwaukee RiverWalk as a Great Place to help highlight the role of great community planning and the RiverWalk’s success in building public-private partnerships. Construction of the $35 million pedestrian-only walkway, which has one of the most innovative bridges found anywhere, increased the value of adjoining property by more than $500 million. The RiverWalk has been a hub for water cleanup, outdoor activities and tourism. Further plans to continue to develop the area include closing gaps in the RiverWalk and cultivating the Beer Line area.
