Technical Tour: Kinnickinnic River Flood Management Projects Bus Tour (ticketed event)

Attendees in possession of a ticket for this event will receive an email indicating where and when to meet for this tour.

The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) implements regional flood management projects in the Milwaukee area. MMSD and area partners have developed a plan for the Kinnickinnic River watershed, Milwaukee’s most urban watershed, to reduce flood risk for over 700 homes and businesses, naturalize over 7 miles of concrete lined streams, and revitalize community spaces.

MMSD and the Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers (SSCHC) will lead a tour through several project areas, in design or completed, on the Kinnickinnic River.

This will include the recently completed Pulaski Park project which removed 1,700 feet of concrete channel and restored the river to a natural stream within the park. The tour will highlight the various partnerships between MMSD, city of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, SSCHC and others to engage the community throughout the life of these projects; transforming the river from a liability to a community asset.
