 The
City of Milwaukee is currently working to improve accessibility of the Riverwalk
system to people of all abilities.
The following enhancements will be made, according to an agreement between the
City, County and Riverwalk Business Improvement District:
|
· |
Construct and install ramps, walkways, or lifts in
several locations to ensure the RiverWalk is readily accessible to and
usable by people with mobility disabilities |
|
· |
Modify, replace, or install handrails in appropriate
locations |
|
· |
Modify built-up curb ramps by grinding down the
surface in two locations |
|
· |
Construct an accessible walkway from a parking lot
to an existing ramp |
|
· |
Remove existing ramps and install new gangways to
floating docks in three locations |
 The City, County and the BID are working with PACE Architects and
Pierce Engineers to ensure the accessibility issues are addressed in the most
effective manner possible.
