UWM Students Seek Public Input in Shorewood Redevelopment Project

As part of a semester-long project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Urban Planning graduate students will work on a redevelopment plan for the west corridor of Shorewood's East Capitol Drive.

To field public input on the project, the students will host a public, open house on April 16, at 6:30 p.m. in Shorewood’s Village Center (lower level of Shorewood Library). The open house starts with a short presentation, followed by the review of various display stations showcasing key areas for discussion. Display stations will remain open until 7:30 p.m.

The scope of the project includes the creation of a redevelopment plan that addresses land use, civic use, housing use, parking and transportation. Graduate students are working closely with the village and school district to better understand the needs of the community.

After the completion of the project, the student’s work will be evaluated by village staff with possible future integration into the Village’s Master Plan. The completed student project will be featured on the village’s website in May.
