Statement from Ald. Joe Davis, Sr.:

"Today, we celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his life for social justice. It is in this spirit that I follow up with the previous press statement released on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015 regarding my 'Reasonable Alternative to the Downtown Streetcar.'  

I have now included my vision in that statement in a video presentation. My vision is a rational and reasonable approach that lays out how the remaining federal funds for transit that the City of Milwaukee proposed to allocate for the Downtown Streetcar can be used instead for an alternative project that would be beneficial for the city and the population the funding was originally intended for."
