Resident Survey to Help Shape Village Policy Decisions, Set Priorities

The village has teamed up with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for a community-wide survey, and gauge how the village is doing on serving its residents.

How has the village been doing serving you? What local issue are you concerned about? That's the type of information officials seek to collect with an online village-wide survey launching this fall. The village approved a $6,000 contract with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Urban Initiatives and Research to design, administer and manage an electronic survey, to be launched mid-September. Trustee Patrick Linnane said the village typically conducts a survey every few years. This year's survey will consist primarily of questions from a 2008 village survey with a few new questions related to sewer projects, visioning efforts and social media outreach.  "What we have been able to do over time with the surveys is get an idea of …

@Hohne b goode, Well put. The 3600 block is only two blocks from the campus. It should be expected that there will be noise on the weekends. Especially since the houses in Milwaukee are 10 Ft. apart from each other. Those who are home owners and complain about the price to live in the area should consider moving to a different location to save money by paying less for an area that is less of a …   more ›

No Gum, or Guns, Please

UWM seeks a ban on weapons in university buildings; yet some professors are still dreading Nov. 1, the day the new state concealed carry law takes effect.

With the new state concealed carry law looming, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is trying to strike a balance with its approach to weapons on campus. When I showed up to college "back in the day," my first violation of residence hall rules was my dastardly ten-inch tall wicker garbage can and my two candles. It never occurred to me that one day I could just decorate my dorm room with loaded weapons. In Wisconsin, luckily, starting November, I sure could, unless the college or university I attend decides to create a policy to stop me, and the government or gun lobby doesn't decide to sue my college or university for noncompliance of the open firearms law. Or, my 21-year-old boyfriend could come visit me with his loaded gun, and that …
