Neighborhood Greenway Network Plan

Abstract

The West Allis Neighborhood Greenway Network Plan is an urban planning capstone project that establishes a citywide strategy to create safer, low-stress connections for people walking and biking. Responding to growing demand for improved mobility options, the project identifies a network of neighborhood greenways low-traffic streets enhanced with traffic calming, wayfinding, and intersection improvements to link residents with key destinations such as schools, parks, trails, and commercial areas. Informed by community engagement, case studies, and data-driven analysis, the plan outlines routing alternatives, prioritization criteria, and phased implementation strategies to guide investment over time. By advancing a connected, equitable, and accessible transportation network, the project supports improved public health, environmental sustainability, and overall quality of life in West Allis.
