Title
Substitute resolution relating to the design, configuration and elevation of a future replacement for the Hoan Bridge.
Analysis
This resolution expresses the City of Milwaukee’s opposition to any changes to the design, configuration or elevation of the Hoan Bridge and its approaches unless all of the following conditions are met:

1. The bridge and its approaches use the existing right-of-way and substantially the same footprint.
2. The bridge approaches remain elevated over all land uses that are currently beneath the approaches, including, but not limited to, Port of Milwaukee, MMSD and Henry W. Maier Festival Park facilities.
3. Moveable bridge spans have sufficient clearance over the mean water level to minimize bridge openings for non-commercial vessels.
4. Bridge openings are limited to non-peak traffic periods, except for emergencies.
5. The bridge and its approaches accommodate pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
6. The cross-sections of the bridge and its approaches are no wider than 2 travel lanes and one distress lane, bicycle lane and sidewalk in each direction.
7. The Lake Shore Interchange is eliminated and replaced by an at-grade intersection or roundabout in the approximate location of Clybourn Street and Lincoln Memorial Drive.
8. All new or reconstructed structures are designed with lighting and architectural elements developed in consultation with the City of Milwaukee.
