We are interested in hearing from you! 

The City of Milwaukee, in cooperation with Milwaukee County and the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and with the design team and adjacent stakeholders, is in the process of gathering community input for an exciting project on the downtown lakefront.

• What activities would bring you to this new space? (Consider summer/winter, typical day/special event, permanent/“pop-up” events).
• How do you rank the suggested activities?
• How can we can connect this space to whole city of Milwaukee?
• How do we make this feel like it belongs to all of Milwaukee?
• What elements of the design attract you to the site, or excite you?
• Do you see anything missing in the concept as proposed?
• In event of choosing parts of the concept, what should not be lost?
