So, Your Think the Hoan's Future is Secure?
Delivering 8,079 petition signatures and a letter signed by a bunch of elected officials to the governor seemed to have been effective. But after the forces behind tearing down the Hoan Memorial Bridge and replacing it with a retrograde, traffic-clogging lift-bridge seemed to have dropped that plan, Milwaukee County Supervisor Pat Jursik in her December newsletter reports this:
"City of Milwaukee Attempts to Delay Re-decking of the Hoan
In spite of the overwhelming show of support for the Hoan Bridge, we need to continue to monitor this issue. On Friday, November 27, a letter from the City of Milwaukee was shared with my office. The letter asks for delay of the re-decking in the guise of an environmental impact study that will review alternatives to the Hoan and development potential. This letter was written by the Department of Public Works of the City of Milwaukee to Transportation Secretary Busalacchi. (Go to http://www.county.milwaukee.gov/ImageLibrary/Groups/cntySupervisors/jursik/Hoan_Bridge/113009_Hoan_Alternatives.pdf
)to read more. We will see what comes of this letter."
So the work of the Coalition to Save the Hoan is apparently not done.
