De Vor Communications has been contracted to lead public involvement efforts on the following reconstruction projects in Milwaukee.
The West Walnut Street project in the city of Milwaukee is the first of its kind! The roadway was fully reconstructed transforming a four-lane roadway into two lanes and adding protected bike paths, a major safety improvement for Milwaukee’s biggest traffic calming project.
Other project goals included:
This project branding was created to reflect the mural on Walnut Street. The branding is being used throughout the pieces created for this project, including project updates, construction forecasts, and traffic switch maps.
In an effort to assist stakeholders, an animation was created for social media to show motorists how to get around Walnut Street to access local businesses.
The scope of work on the West Vliet Street project included removing and replacing the existing pavement, curb & gutter, and driveway approaches with concrete. Sidewalks and curb ramps were built to meet current ADA standards. Traffic signals and streetlights were also upgraded.
This project branding was created to reflect the small business community on Vliet Street. The branding is being used throughout the pieces created for this project, including project updates, construction forecasts, and traffic switch maps.
The City of Milwaukee has completed the first of three phases on the rehabilitation of the North Holton Street bridge over the Milwaukee River. The bridge was constructed in 1926 and is an important and historical structure for Milwaukee.
The rehabilitation throughout all three phases will consist of the following:
Our Holton Street Bridge branding incorporated the swing park below the bridge. For this project we created project updates and construction forecasts.
The South 70th Street Bridge project replaced the 82-year-old structure, sidewalk, and deteriorated roadway approaches. The replacement of the bridge required intermittent closures of the Hank Aaron State Trail so the De Vor team created digital materials to help pedestrians and bicyclists navigate these closures.
Work for this project included doing briefs, construction forecasts, and an animation to help stakeholders understand the detour for the Hank Aaron State Trail.
The North Humboldt Boulevard project reconstructed the 1.5 miles of roadway and was nominated for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Outstanding Highway Construction Award in the Concrete Paving category.
Goals of the project included:
This project utilized print and digital pieces, including project briefs and construction forecasts. Deliverables were created in US letter format, and distributed via email and social media.
