Lincoln Park Oxbow Update
Take a Look: Check out a new video that shares an update on the Lincoln Park Oxbow Aquatic Habitat Enhancement Project. In the video, you can learn about the history of the Milwaukee River in Lincoln Park, see a map of what we are planning, and hear how community feedback shaped the design. This project will improve habitat by adding more wetland areas for fish, creating better spaces for turtles to rest and lay eggs, making the water deeper in some areas, and removing rocks along the riverbanks where we can.
