Topics
Summary
The City of West Allis has adopted the West Allis Bike, Pedestrian, and Mobility Plan (Resolution R-2025-4567), replacing its 2009 predecessor. This comprehensive plan builds upon the city's 2045 Comprehensive Plan and reaffirms its commitment to Vision Zero, aiming to eliminate all traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2037.
Key Goals & 2045 Targets:
- Reduce severe pedestrian/bicycle crashes to 0 per year (from 28/year baseline).
- Achieve continuous sidewalks on 90% of streets.
- Designate and upgrade 28.2 miles of Neighborhood Greenways.
- Plant 500 trees annually and install 30 EV charging stations.
- Develop 1,000 new housing units in Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) overlay districts.
The plan prioritizes a multi-modal approach, enhancing infrastructure for walking, biking, micromobility (e-scooters, bike-share), and public transit. It incorporates Milwaukee County's Safer Streets Toolkit, outlining countermeasures like Road Diets (up to 47% crash reduction) and Roundabouts (up to 82% crash reduction). Implementation will be funded through a combination of local Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds and competitive state and federal grants.
