Rapid Implementation Improvements

Program Overview

The City of Milwaukee's “Rapid Implementation” initiative creates quick, low-cost street improvements to increase the safety and comfort of people walking, biking, and driving. 

These projects use materials like paint, flexible posts, planters, and other moveable barriers to create street improvements like curb extensions, plazas, and pedestrian islands. Rapid Implementatin projects are also relatively easy to adjust and can be used to test out new ideas before more permanent concrete changes are constructed.

If you are part of a Business Improvement District or Neighborhood Improvement District interested in bringing a rapid implementation initiative to your area, please contact [email protected] for additional information.
