Pick and Save Block
Redevelopment Presentation
A Village Board public hearing is scheduled on Monday, July 7, 2014. Developer General Capital worked diligently to respond to public comments on the proposed Metro Market grocery store, parking deck and six story mixed use building. After over two dozen meetings with various committees, boards, neighbors, and stakeholders, the project has been refined, offering a plethora of public amenities activating the street front. Some of the public amenities include a public pedestrian arcade, outdoor seating, a planned market space, bike share, bike parking and a bike repair station. These improvements are a result of involvement from our residents.
The most recent drawings are available on the Village's website www.villageofshorewood.org; please go to Community Development/Oakland Redevelopment under the Quick Links section. Or you can click here to view the drawings only or click here to see the full project plan.

 Harbor Development Update
You may have noticed some additional action taking place on the site of the new Harbor development. The demolition of the west building of the old Sherburn Place apartments began today. The east building is scheduled for demolition in approximately three (3) weeks. This will allow the North Shore Fire Department additional time to perform training exercises in the building before it is demolished.

Shorewood's Young Trees Get Fertilized
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) has undertaken a partnership with Shorewood, Oak Creek and Brown Deer to demonstrate the value of fertilizing young trees with Milorganite, a locally produced nonchemical fertilizer. Recent tests have shown Milorganite to be particularly beneficial to establishing healthy young trees and MMSD is encouraging forestry departments to include Milorganite in their urban forestry planting programs. (Taylor Leitinger, UWM Environmental Science major and MMSD summer intern applied Milorganite to 35 young street trees in Shorewood as part of MMSD's Milorganite tree enhancement partnership program.) MMSD provides bulk Milorganite free to the Public Works Departments of all 28 communities within the MMSD service area. Back to Top

Did You Know?
Did you know that if you want to visit a Wisconsin beach (Doctor's, Klode, Atwater, Bradford, etc.) you can check on the water quality by going to www.wibeaches.us? Many beaches have their water checked for bacteria levels anywhere from one to six times a week. These results are reported online and the water quality signs are posted at the beaches.
Regardless of the sign, always wash your hands before eating, do not drink the lake water, and take a soap shower when you return home.

Quote of the Week
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
(The Declaration of Independence)

Health Tip
Little arms are too short to hold sparklers, which can heat up to 1,200 degrees. How about this? Let your young children use glow sticks instead. They can be just as fun but they don't burn at a temperature hot enough to melt glass!
|
|
Environmental Tip
Be environmentally friendly on the Fourth of July by following these simple tips:
- Use paper plates instead of plastic
- Buy local or organic food
- Use solar lighting
- Use environmentally friendly perchlorate-free fireworks
- Pick up yard waste and recycle!
