Common Council scoffs at DOT's interchange plan
The state Department of Transportation took its road show to the Common Council last week briefing Milwaukee officials on its plan to redo the Zoo interchange.

The Charles Jacobus Neighborhood Association chipped in the money this week to finish the job.
