The price you pay.
Having just pledged a half million dollars to help build a highway interchange in a neighboring community, odds are the city of Franklin will plead poverty and elect to create another speedway with little or no provision for pedestrians and bikes; that sort of thing is expensive, you know.
The Franklin Little League complex is on 76th Street. Not that it matters, of course, in a city that builds for cars, not for people.
There is a hearing on the project from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Franklin Law Center on Loomis Road. There are four options that are being considered. The options include: a four-lane highway with no median and no sidewalks, a four-lane highway with no median and a sidewalk, a four-lane highway with an 18-foot-wide median and no sidewalks and a four-lane highway with an 18-foot-wide median with a sidewalk.
If the City of Franklin cannot reach a decision by June 15, Milwaukee County will move forward with plans to construct a four-lane highway without a median or sidewalks in 2012.
