Bradford Beach Bathhouse

January 25, 2021 by


April 2021 Update: Officials Concerned About Public Access at Bradford Beach Bathhouse Under Plan For High-end Restaurant
An opinion by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and a final report by the Lakefront Development Advisory Commission(LDAC) call on Milwaukee County to require full public access to the Bradford Beach Bathhouse before allowing a high-end restaurant on the upper level. LDAC’s report lists a number of conditions it says should be met before Milwaukee County approves the proposal. The Shepherd Express covered the DNR opinion (“DNR: No ‘Destination Restaurant’ on Bradford Beach”) and recently wrote about the issue of public space.

January 2021 – From the HWTN Buildings and Institution Committee:

We’re writing to inform you about major changes being proposed to the historic Bradford Beach Bathhouse. Concerns have been raised by HWTN members about the proposal and are summarized in our committee’s letter the that was sent to county, city and state officials. The Shepherd Express also has a detailed article on the issue. 

It appears that the Milwaukee County Parks Department has sole authority to approve, modify or reject the proposal, and that a decision could be coming soon. We believe that our opinions will matter to the department as well as our supervisor, Sheldon Wasserman, who heads the County Board’s parks committee. 

If you would like to express your opinion, we encourage you to act now via either or both of the following options.

1. Comment briefly to the Lakefront Development Advisory Council (LDAC) by email or public testimony. LDAC is meeting at 5:30 p.m. this Wednesday to discuss the proposal. The meeting will be livestreamed at https://milwaukeecounty.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. To give comments, you can either:

  • Email comments. Written testimony may be provided in advance of the meeting by sending remarks or documentation to billlynch@me.com, with copy to: kelsey.evans@milwaukeecountywi.gov, no later than 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 27, 2021.Written testimony will be accepted up to 24 hours after meeting adjournment, if LDAC does not adopt a recommendation at its meeting.
  • Speak virtually at the meeting. Request a Teams invitation to join the meeting by e-mailing kelsey.evans@milwaukeecountywi.gov no later than when the Chairman announces the closing of the public comment period, and indicate which e-mail address the invitation should be sent to. (The invitation will only be sent once LDAC reaches the comment phase of the meeting. LDAC will stand informal while members of the public join, and may impose a two-minute time limit per speaker.)
2. Send a short email the following officials:
We will have an update on the issue at the HWTN meeting Feb. 3.

You can download the materials LDAC provided for the meeting and other related information below . Feel free to contact me if you have questions or would like to discuss the issue.

Sincerely,

Dawn McCarthy
Chair, HWTN Buildings and Institutions Committee
