Schoonmaker Creek Project Update

There is an open house this Thursday about the Schoonmaker Creek Watershed Flooding Mitigation Project. Click here to read about the status of the project.

From the City of Wauwatosa: Attend the open house on September 12 between 5 – 7 pm at Wauwatosa’s City Hall in the Lower Civic Center. It’s open house style, so you can come at any point in that window. There is no formal presentation. Our staff will be there to walk through the project details and answer your questions. You’ll see that we’ve studied two alternatives for reducing flooding. We’ll present recommendations in October 2024, and we anticipate the Common Council will soon choose one of the alternatives. To be clear, we’re still very early in this process. Project financing has not yet been determined. There will be future meetings on this topic.

We will contact you once our friends at Giltee have our order ready in May. Sizes SM – 3XL available. T-shirts are $20 for SM-XL, $22 for 2XL, and $23 for 3XL. Sweatshirts are $30 for SM-XL, $32 for 2XL, and $33 for 3XL.
