Work recently started on the extension of the Hank Aaron Trail that will take it from the current end of the paved section at 94 Place and will connect the Hank Aaron State Trail to Underwood Parkway just south of W. Blue Mound Road.

This will be very cool for East/West commuters as the trail will now provide an off-road commuter route from the western suburbs to downtown Milwaukee. Close to 400,000 people live within 15 minutes of the route.

When the extension is finished with crushed gravel, the path will link Lakeshore State Park to the Milwaukee County Oak Leaf Trail, the New Berlin Recreational Trail and the Glacial Drumlin Trail. It will provide a route, largely off-road, from the lakefront to Cottage Grove.

The crushed gravel will be replaced with asphalt following reconstruction of the Zoo Interchange.

With the Ride for the Arts just past and the fact that, during that ride, thousands of people experienced riding the Hoan legally, I figured it was a good time to remind you all to please sign the petition:

https://bayviewbash.wufoo.com/forms/s7x3w7/

to let our elected officials know you support permanent bicycle and pedestrian access over the Hoan Bridge.
Wouldn’t hurt to shoot your elected city, county and state representatives an email or paper letter letting them know how important this is to the city for future transportation needs, quality of life issues and safe passage between Bayview and the Southside and Downtown and points north!

From our buddy Alex. Not sure what the other 11 are but if they are gems like this one we’ll have to find out!

The minimum number of bikes one should own is three. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.
