Priorities
Milwaukee County is rich in positive assets; Ryan Clancy will work hard to ensure that the things that make Milwaukee special and unique are accessible to everyone.

Increased access to public spacesMilwaukee County has world-class parks, but - too often - they are inaccessible to residents for low-dollar reasons. I'll focus on common-sense approaches so that we can get the most use out of our public spaces by pushing for increased lighting, facilities for youth and bathroom access. Milwaukee's youth also deserve robust, high-quality programming - especially when Milwaukee's schools are not in session - and connections to organizations doing phenomenal work in the area.
|
Expanded transitMilwaukee relies on, and benefits from, a robust public transportation system. Closing and limiting bus routes, especially those in underdeveloped areas, has impacted the ability of our residents to attend work and school, and to engage fully in our communities. I will fight to restore and expand bus routes where they are needed the most, while advocating for the most sustainable, efficient upgrades to ensure that they remain cost-effective and viable.
|
Public / private partnershipsPartnerships with local businesses and organizations have led to infrastructure improvements and - in most cases - more use of Milwaukee County's phenomenal park system. I'll ensure that the public comes first, that these partnerships prioritizes full access to the public, and that we allow all residents to fully enjoy public assets, while ensuring that third parties contribute a fair share of the overhead when they are profiting from public spaces.
