Public information meetings (PIM) and hearings

WisDOT held a series of public workshops and public information meetings in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties to present concepts and ideas on possible improvements to the I-94 North-South corridor, extending from the Mitchell Interchange area in Milwaukee to the Illinois state line.

Public hearings were held in Sturtevant, Kenosha, Oak Creek and Milwaukee in mid December.

Community workshops

Four brainstorming workshops were held to gather the public's input for possible improvements.

A total of 540 people attended a series of four community workshops on the I-94 North-South corridor study earlier this year. The workshops allowed the public to interact with the study team and share ideas and concerns about the freeway corridor, as well as explore possible solutions. Citizens were encouraged to ask questions, mark their thoughts on freeway maps, exchange information, offer suggestions and present known problems relating to the corridor.

From these workshops, WisDOT assembled the ideas and comments and will refine them into concepts to be presented at the upcoming public information meetings.

Materials from the workshops

• Community workshop overview presentation (1.8 MB)
• Freeway design basics (786 KB)
• Design ideas and questions (385 KB)
• Comment form

Summary of comments from the workshops

• Comments regarding the Mitchell Interchange, Airport Spur and College Avenue
