A huge Drexel Avenue streetscaping project could highlight Oak Creek as a “city on the lake”…
A wave of light could flow down Drexel Avenue in Oak Creek along new walls, plantings and past freshly planted trees as part of a new streetscaping concept designed to highlight the city’s proximity to Lake Michigan.
An engineering and consulting firm based in Milwaukee, presented a conceptual streetscape design to the Oak Creek planning commission. The goal of the plan, which reaches from Ikea Way to Howell Avenue, is to “re-envision the current existing condition of Drexel Avenue. The plan made use of this and tried to encapsulate elements of Oak Creek’s Lake Vista Park design into the streetscaping.
