Site work for a mixed-use development in West Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project; and bridge / tunnel.

As of June 6, 2024, The project is included in the 2024 Budget. This project is in the design phase. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027 and be completed in 2031. The purpose of this project is to reduce flood risk on the KK River as well as mitigate increased flood flows from proposed recommendations for the KK River (W40002), Lyons Park Creek (W41001), and the S. 43rd Street Ditch (W42003) projects. Over 350 residential and commercial structures are in the one percent annual probability floodplain within the project areas. The project's purpose also improves public safety and aquatic and riparian habitat conditions. The project scope consists of lowering Milwaukee County land in Jackson Park to create 150 acre-feet of flood storage, incorporating improvements and/or additional park assets to compensate the County for the park area and assets impacted as part of this project, and replacing the concrete channel lining (1,400 feet) and enclosed culverts (700 feet) with a naturalized channel within Jackson Park. The project scope also includes the acquisition and removal of structures from properties located at 2425 S. 35th Street (formerly owned by We Energies) and 3460 W. Leeds Place (formerly owned by Dion-Simon Investments). The District will utilize these properties to provide flood storage to offset flood storage needed in Jackson Park. The change in total project cost is primarily due to adding the scope of work for acquiring and removing structures from the two additional properties outside of Jackson Park. The impacts to the operating budget will be determined following the development of future intergovernmental cooperation agreements between the District and Milwaukee County for ongoing site maintenance. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
