This placemaking project is the result of a collaboration between the Riverworks Development Corporation (RDC) and Community Design Solutions (CDS) at UWM. This plaza enhancement is an extension of a previous CDS and RDC collaboration to create a plaza along the Beerline Trail that could be utilized as an entertainment
venue that brings the community together.

The current proposal illustrates ideas for how RDC and community stakeholders could utilize an additional shipping container on site as a hub for retail activity. We also put forth solutions for how to mitigate storm water on the site and use more of the site for placemaking.
