The project is part of a pledge to build 50 miles of new bike lanes by 2026.

A new protected bike path will connect downtown Milwaukee to the North Side, according to an article by Jeramey Jannene in Urban Milwaukee.
The project will be completed thanks to a $2.09 million Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant that will help the city create a connected corridor. A second grant will fund additional bike lanes that will feed into the corridor. “Design work is well underway to rebuild N. Sherman Boulevard between W. Capitol Drive and W. North Avenue. A second project will add a protected bike lane to W. Lisbon Avenue from N. 20th and N. 40th streets.”
“The protected bike lane network is part of a 2023 pledge by Mayor Cavalier Johnson to have 50 miles of protected bike lanes constructed or in design by 2026.” According to the mayor, the city has 42 miles of bike lanes in the planning or construction stages.
