POSITION STATEMENT ON MILWAUKEE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
The grid of government and quasi-government services –
city, county, regional, state and intergovernmental organizations (public and
private) - have become designated piranhas at the coffers of grant federal
funding while disregarding high, growing, and concentrated poverty in the city
of Milwaukee that impact the safety of heads of household, other family members
and entire neighborhoods and districts.
Improved customer services in-line with population
growth, employment needs, cost and lifestyles are locked in the shadow of
obsolescence due to the lag and overtime failure to use dollars wisely and improve
the structural matrix of streets, highways, train ways and byways. Additionally, in-fighting for cosmetic and special
interest procurement of government funds continues to plague agreements and
defeat TRUST of the citizenry.
The marketplace of Information technology and today’s
entrepreneurs such as Uber’s taxi and buspreneurs models are changing the
playbook that affects travel for upcoming competitors with disposable dollars.
The city, county and state planners can choose to be
successful by embracing and providing its CORE CONSTITUENTS – majority, legal, residential,
commercial and needy ridership – connectivity to a giant state-of-the-art network
of 21st Century travel opportunities that is known, competitive and
affordable.
The city, county, state planners have failed to
connect the dearth - key populations/HUBS "in desperate need" of rapid travel with multiple routes to and from the
neighborhoods AND districts and known for its standards of efficiency –
well-ran transportation, safe transportation, reliable transportation, environmental
friendly transportation, clean and affordable transportation, transportation operated
and managed by the bus union and other professionals in the taxi, coach,
paratransit, bike, train, airline and other customer care services.
Examples
The city of Milwaukee – mayor and common council -
Department of City Development and Department of Public Works, led the example of misuse of city of Milwaukee
coffers and public transportation funding with special interest of Bublr Bike implementation for downtown and Caucasian areas - a REDLINING,
discriminatory and segregation implementation.
The city of Milwaukee – mayor and common council - Department
of Public Works, is an example of misuse of transit and transportation dollars with
its Milwaukee
Streetcar and special interest Rick Barrett’s Couture development for downtown and tourists while REDLINING the
areas of African American, other People of Color and Work Challenged.
The funds for Public Transportation should be part of
a master plan to connect the Milwaukee population to major and rapid bus routes
and other lifestyle travels for enhancements of quality of life destinations –
doctors, schools, church, wraparound services, safe havens, parks, gardens,
public events, shopping centers, day care, employment within the city. It should be the beginning of quality and quantity
public transportation with the advent of connectivity to hot spots of
Employment in and out of the city - thus BRT-Bus Rapid Transit and joint ventures
for the constituents to GROW that calls for city-to-city Infrastructure and
confidence of the People.
Milwaukee County’s East/West
BRT-Bus Rapid Transit is a fast track
for to OPEN the DOOR to Small
Starts Federal Transit Funding based on
false data and REDLINING
African American, other People of Color, Work Challenged Milwaukeeans and alienating
local hot spots of employment through built-in segregation and projected cost
for all.
We can and MUST DO BETTER. NOW!
June is the
kick-off of Emancipation.
