The Process Behind Road Construction
Milwaukee’s Department of Public Works strives to maintain nearly 1,400 miles of city streets, about 4,000 alleys, and approximately 2,500 miles of sidewalk through paving projects and routine maintenance.
There are multiple ways in which a street, alley or sidewalk gets flagged for improvement:
- Field observation by City employees
- Aldermanic/Citizen request or complaint (call center data)
- Road Matrix Pavement Management System Pavement Quality Index (PQI) Ratings (roadways only)
- Pavement Core Samples (roadways only)

The Fight Against Reckless Driving Continues
Reckless driving remains the number one threat to our safety and continues to have the greatest impact on our overall quality of life. Since 2023, I have been pushing and fighting to strengthen penalties and increase accountability for those who choose to endanger others on our streets.
Water Quality Task Force Recommendations
The City of Milwaukee Water Quality Task Force has been meeting regularly since September 2016, investigating ways to make sure the city's drinking water is safe from lead in old water line pipes and lateral service lines. A final Report and Recommendations document has been approved, and highlights steps and methods that will ensure the long-term health and safety of Milwaukee's drinking water. The next step will be for Common Council members to review it and take action on specific areas that may need it. More news to come as it happens. Learn more using the links below.
