Buses Are Green

Saving Milwaukee County Transit from the Walker cuts.
12th and Wisconsin, Saturday March 22

Lena Taylor took the County Executive election campaign to the bus to protest County Executive Scott Walker’s bus cutting.

We rode with Lena from 12th & Wisconsin, Route #20, in front of Gesu Church, through downtown and back.

Photos of the Ride, the Riders, and Lena Taylor talking to bus riders.

Route #20 is now gone. In 1999, the Milwaukee County Transit System was honored as America’s best mid-sized transit system. Lena said she would work bring it back Milwaukee Transit to what it used to be. It once connected the North and South sides of Milwaukee, running on what is now Caesar Chavez drive, north on 8th Street to the Brewers’ ball park (Borchert Field).

Her message: Elect Lena Taylor and we will rescue Transit in Milwaukee County.
Vote on April 1.

Save your bus. Ride your bus. And vote Lena.

What Next?

The County Board saved us from many bus cuts because State Senator Lena Taylor brought $3 million of state money from Madison to fund the transit budget. Vote for Lena Taylor April 1, 2008.

About NOT giving up.

Happy Spring? Cold? And the cuts have happened.

  • Route #11 service in Bay View has been cut in half. Headways are now 30+ minutes.
  • Route #15 was saved (thanks to Lena Taylor’s timely funds from Madison).
  • Route #53 south of Lincoln and Bay has been gone two months. No accommodation to the dozens of rush hour riders.
  • Route #11 on Vliet service is gone. Vliet, a struggling business district, no longer has bus service.

The bus cuts will now take their toll on our work force and our school children. This is no time to be silent. Please bring forward your observations, stories, situations. You are welcome to publish on MilwaukeeRenaissance.COM
