Title
Substitute resolution Approving Cooperation Agreement for Summerfest Access, in the 4th Aldermanic District.
Analysis
This Resolution approves a Cooperation Agreement by and among the City, acting through its Board of Harbor Commissioners, Discovery World Limited, Milwaukee World Festivals, Inc., the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Milwaukee County. Under this Agreement a new Summerfest North Gate vehicular access for equipment and supply vehicles will be constructed on an easement granted by the City, acting through its Board of Harbor Commissioners. World Festivals will release its interest to an access roadway as specified in the Conservation Easement from the City to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The release of this easement interest will reduce the vehicular traffic in and about the Discovery World facility. North Harbor Drive between East Michigan Avenue and East Chicago Street will also be widened to the west over land granted to the City under a County of Milwaukee Easement. The City will continue to maintain North Harbor Drive after the widening and World Festival will maintain the adjacent new sidewalk. This street widening will greatly improve vehicular flow in or around the Summerfest grounds and enhance both vehicular and pedestrian safety. Discovery World will contract and pay for all costs associated with the design and construction of both the North Gate Access and North Harbor Drive widening projects. World Festival may contribute toward the costs of those projects. Finally, the Board of Harbor Commissioners and the City will formalize World Festival’s limited right to use South Urban Park by granting World Festival a license to use the park under the direction of the Board of Harbor Commissioners.
