6/28/2023	0	PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE	HELD TO CALL OF THE CHAIR; Minutes note: Kevin Muhs (DPW) and Jim Plaisted (Historic Third Ward Organization) were present. Mr. Muhs said that the DPW Commissioner had a conversation with the Third Ward Organization to gather more information from them for determining the next steps and that they are also determining alternatives followed by the design and then construction. He also said that it is a significant project because there are a lot utilities on Water St., given the scale of what the organization is interested in doing particularly with the idea to move to curbs in to create more pedestrian space. He said that construction will start on 2026 (could be 2025). Mr. Plaisted said they are motivated with the traffic calming on Water St. with the continuing success of the Milwaukee Public Market which brings 2M of visitors each year. He also said that the traffic can be minimized as it is now with the high rise building process. He added that they are ready for when DPW is ready.	Pass	5:0
