Committee recommends sanitary sewer easement along Lincoln Memorial Drive to allow City of Milwaukee pipe rehabilitation
Summary
The committee recommended formalizing a 30‑foot easement to recognize and allow rehabilitation of about one mile of 8‑inch sanitary sewer along Lincoln Memorial Drive. The City of Milwaukee will perform repairs and the county asked the board to authorize the easement to document the sewer and allow coordinated work.
Milwaukee County Parks asked the committee to authorize a formal 30‑foot easement to the City of Milwaukee for approximately one mile of 8‑inch sanitary sewer located along Lincoln Memorial Drive to allow the city to rehabilitate the pipe.
Sarah Thompson, assistant director of planning, said the City of Milwaukee owns and operates the sewer but the county inherited lands associated with the pipe when Lake Park ownership transferred; the county is a user of the sewer and the city will undertake repairs—either relaying pipe or using cured-in-place rehabilitation—because of age and condition. Parks staff coordinated alignment to avoid historic retaining walls and to keep work out of travel lanes where possible. The department and city agreed to combine nearby storm-sewer work for procurement efficiency.
Supervisor Martin moved approval; the committee recommended the easement by a 7–0 vote. Parks staff said they will execute a draft easement and collaborate with the city on bidding and scheduling; the county expects the repair work to occur later in the year.
