| Additional Information: | 2011- The first plans for the Lincoln Creek Parkway were included in the First Annual Report and illustrate the parkway connecting with the Milwaukee and Menomonee River Parkways. These preliminary plans followed Lincoln Creek from Green Bay Road southeast to 32nd Street and Hampton Road in North Milwaukee. Additional segments followed Lincoln Creek to Sherman Boulevard and then west to North Fond du Lac Road. The plans included curvilinear drives along the north side of the creek and abundant plantings. The western extent of the Lincoln Creek Parkway, which would link with the Menomonee River Parkway, was not completed. major implementation did not begin until the advent of federal funding in the 1930s. By 1942 city-administered WPA labor completed erosion control along Lincoln Creek by deepening and widening the channel and adding retaining walls and slabs at sewer outfalls and bridges. Lincoln Creek Parkway has a discontinuous curvilinear drive, pendant and goose neck lighting, wood signs, retaining walls, pedestrian paths, and few plantings. Pedestrian and vehicular bridges provide access over the creek. Meaux Park is located at the eastern end of the parkway. |
