Jacobs Solutions Recommended as Milwaukee's Next Wastewater Operator, Pledges to Cut Palantir Partnership

Jacobs Solutions Recommended as Milwaukee's Next Wastewater Operator, Pledges to Cut Palantir Partnership

An ad hoc committee has recommended Jacobs Solutions to be the next wastewater operator for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), favoring them over the current operator, Veolia North America. This recommendation is for a 10-year, $700 million contract set to begin in 2028. Jacobs' bid was $54 million lower than Veolia's, and the committee also cited Jacobs' systematic approach and extensive experience with real-time, data-driven tools as key advantages. A significant factor in the committee's decision was Jacobs' agreement to terminate its partnership with Palantir, a software company that has faced controversy for its role in assisting ICE with immigration enforcement. Concerns about this partnership had been raised by advocacy groups and even civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton, prompting Jacobs to commit to using another company for its data analysis. The MMSD Commission is expected to make the final decision in September.

Milwaukee's Department of Public Works Proposes Roundabouts for Holton Street to Enhance Safety

Milwaukee's Department of Public Works Proposes Roundabouts for Holton Street to Enhance Safety

The City of Milwaukee's Department of Public Works (DPW) is considering a significant change to Holton Street, proposing the installation of roundabouts at three intersections between Keefe and Burleigh. These intersections, currently controlled by traffic lights at Keefe, Concordia, and Burleigh, would be converted to roundabouts. This initiative stems from a concerning safety record on this stretch of road, which has seen over 30 accidents, including two fatalities, since 2020, according to Milwaukee County crash data. The area is also designated as part of Milwaukee's high injury network for pedestrians, highlighting the urgent need for safety improvements. David Tapia from DPW stated that these changes aim to alert drivers to altered conditions, thereby encouraging lower speeds and reducing conflict points common in traditional traffic light intersections, particularly head-on and left-turn collisions.
