The roadmap lists what exists, what is being built and what is planned for each of Little Milwaukee's four pillars, as of November 2026. The vision explains what each pillar is for.
How to read this page
Little Milwaukee is a travel and local planning website for Milwaukee County in four parts: places, events, public feedback and public discourse. Each part has one table below, and a last table lists work that spans the four.
Each row has one of three status words. Live means a person or an agent can use it now. Building means work has started. Planned means the work is agreed and not started. Planned rows have no dates, and the order of rows is not a schedule.
The editor updates this page when the plan changes, and the page is marked for review 30 days after each update.
