· Please attend the District 7 Information Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, April 9th, from 7-8 pm at City Hall. I need to work with you in order to better represent your interests.
· Christmas Tree Pick Up Service: In response to multiple constituent complaints about government waste with our Christmas Tree pick up service, I made a referral to the Board of Public Works to reexamine our service policy in an effort to reduce costs. The linked article from the BrookfieldNOW paper summarizes the issue well, but if you have further questions or suggestions, please contact me directly at 780-0805 or lisa@betterbrookfield.com. If you see wasteful practices by city employees call me with the date, time, type of truck, and activity observed.
· ...Brookfield ranks among the "100 Best Places to Live and Launch"...
· Development Updates for the corner of Moorland Rd. and Greenfield Ave.: The Council approved on an 8-6 vote (Carnell, Reddin, Berg, G. Mellone, Blackburn, and L. Mellone opposed) Rezoning of the parcel on the NE corner of Greenfield and Moorland Roads from B3 to a PDD (Planned Development District) for the purposes of allowing the construction of Fountain Brook Crossing. The developer still has a few more hurdles to jump, such as obtaining necessary easements from the adjacent hotel property owner and committed tenants for more than 80% of his leasing space. I decided to oppose this project because of unresolved traffic circulation issues due to a lack of more detailed neighborhood planning that is called for in this Target Intervention Area per Brookfield’s 2020 Master Plan.
See the Development Proposals page for more info.
On the New Berlin side of this intersection, a proposed Deer Creek Inn Water Park Hotel and Conference Center received a favorable response in court that further paves the way for its construction.
