WRITING A NEW WEST SIDE STORY...the near west side as a community—or, as those involved in the...

WRITING A NEW WEST SIDE STORYBY ALAN J. BORSUK

Marquette Lawyer 23

Michael R. Lovell has learned a lot since becoming president of Marquette University in 2014, but this seemed like an unexpected example: “I’ve learned more about what it takes to run a grocery store

than I really care to know,” Lovell wryly acknowledged

to more than 200 people who filled the Appellate

Courtroom of Eckstein Hall one morning last fall.

What does a grocery store have to do with being

president of a major university? The answer in Lovell’s

case: A lot. It is an important piece of a bigger picture

that many Milwaukee leaders and institutions,

including Marquette, hope will add vitality

to a struggling area near the Marquette

campus.

The success of Near West Side

Partners, Inc., in the next several years will

say a lot not only about that area but also

about Marquette’s future and its aspirations

as a Jesuit institution. Lovell said in an

interview, “In my career, this may

be the most significant project I’ve

worked on because of the impact on

the city. The impact could really help

change Milwaukee.”

Collective efficacy—that is a

term used by Harvard Professor

Robert J. Sampson to describe urban

neighborhoods that are doing better than

one might expect. (See the essay version

of Sampson’s Boden Lecture at the Law

School in this issue, page 8.) In essence,

the term means that the more that people

and entities involved in a neighborhood

jointly contribute to maintaining and

improving the quality of life, the better a

neighborhood will be.

The near west side effort is bringing

together a large number of people and

organizations who hope their work will

be a prime example of collective effort that

is effective. Marquette University has joined

with four other “anchor” institutions, as well

as with neighborhood residents, business

owners, nonprofits, and government agencies,

in a concerted effort to build up the health of

the near west side as a community—or, as those involved

in the effort call it, “a neighborhood of neighborhoods.”

For Lovell, the initiative is one that addresses both

Marquette’s direct needs and its broader mission. On

the direct side, assuring the security of areas adjacent

to the campus and making those areas more attractive

as places to live will help recruit students, faculty, and

other staff. On the mission side, Lovell said, “We’re a

university that wants to educate students to improve the

world.” Marquette’s overall goal, as a Jesuit institution,

is to put people on paths

not only to successful

careers but also to lives of

service. “There is a mind/

body/spirit approach to

Jesuit education,” Lovell

said. “We want faculty, staff,

and students to think about

how to solve the city’s

problems. The near west

side couldn’t be a better

test case.”

In the first months of the

project, Marquette students

and faculty, as well as the

university’s top administrators, have shown initiative and

gotten involved in projects on the near west side. One

of the projects receiving major attention is the proposed

grocery store. The idea started with two students who

were concerned about lack of access to nutritious and

fresh food in the vicinity of Marquette. That has grown into

a core group of students who continue to play important

roles in pushing for creation of a market that will meet that

need—a push all involved hope will (pun intended) bear

fruit soon. The grocery store is “a huge student issue,” said

Jeanne Hossenlopp, Marquette’s vice president for research

and innovation.

But the grocery store is hardly the only example of

what members of the Marquette community are tackling.

An example: Amber Wichowsky, a political science

professor, and a team of students are working on ways to

help area residents get more involved in the process of

deciding the future of the community. Another example:

Scores of Marquette students are taking part in “service

learning” efforts, including tutoring students in local

schools and enhancing recreation options in the area.

“We want faculty, staff, and students to think about how to solve the city’s problems. The near west side couldn’t be a better test case.”President Lovell

WRITING A NEW WEST SIDE STORY

Overall, Hossenlopp said, the near west side effort

is an opportunity to think about Marquette’s role in the

broader community. She said she wants Marquette faculty

and students to be involved in research that’s relevant

to the neighborhoods and in partnerships to help

institutions in the area.

The overall pictureThe area generally between downtown Milwaukee on

the east and Washington Park on the west and between

I-94 on the south and Vliet Street on the north was part

of the solid fabric of Milwaukee for many decades, home

to thousands of German and Irish immigrants and their

families. It was also home to a concentration of about

10 hospitals for many years. But the Germans and Irish

mostly moved out of the area to the suburbs and beyond,

and, in the 1970s and 1980s, all but one of the hospitals

closed, merged, or became part of the regional medical

center in Wauwatosa, some five miles to the west. Only

Aurora Sinai Medical Center remains in the area.

Milwaukee Alderman

Robert Bauman, who

represents much of the

area on the Milwaukee

Common Council, said

the departure of the

hospitals “really devastated

the neighborhood.” He

elaborated: “In one fell

swoop, you yanked all

that employment and

business activity out of that

neighborhood. The land

use has never adjusted.”

One problem, Bauman

said, is that numerous

low-rise apartments built

in the 1960s, many then occupied by people working in

health-related jobs, have become sore spots. They have

aged poorly, don’t meet the interests of today’s renters, and,

in too many cases, have been occupied by people whose

unstable lives affect neighborhood stability itself.

But the area also has kept a lot of its vitality. About

40,000 people live there, including about 10,000 Marquette

students. Some 29,000 people work in this section of

the city. There are major businesses and institutions in

the area, some with histories that go back more than a

century. The area includes some high-quality schools, art

and entertainment venues, and stretches of high-quality,

even elegant, housing.

In fact, detailed analysis of the area suggests that a

relatively small number of locales and specific addresses

account for disproportionate shares of the neighborhood

problems. Advocates for improving the area say that this

means that the dimensions of the issues they must face

are not as intimidating as one might think.

So how do you build up and spread what is good and

deal with what is not? That is the challenge of the near

west side initiative. And the large cast of those involved

expresses confidence that the efforts will succeed.

Launching the initiativeThe creation of the Near West Side Partners

organization dates to shortly after Lovell took office.

In July 2014, Lovell went to see Keith Wandell, then

CEO of Harley-Davidson, to talk about safety in the area.

Marquette is on the east side of the expanse; the corporate

headquarters of the world-famous motorcycle company

are a couple miles to the northwest. Both Harley-Davidson

and Marquette—and a lot of residents and institutions in

the area—put high priority on combating crime, enhancing

safety, and improving perceptions on both fronts.

At the “On the Issues with Mike Gousha” session

at the Law School where Lovell talked about grocery

stores, the Marquette president recounted his meeting

with Wandell. As their conversation developed, the

Marquette and Harley-Davidson leaders realized that to

deal with safety problems, what they really needed to

do was to improve the whole neighborhood. A vibrant

neighborhood is a safe neighborhood. They began

considering what was needed and how it might be done.

Several months later, in October 2014, a meeting of

many of the stakeholders connected to the near west

side was held at Harley-Davidson’s offices. There was

agreement that the need was there, the time was right, the

potential was strong, and the willingness existed to join

together in a new surge of work on improving the area.

Five major institutions agreed to be the anchors for

a new organization, Near West Side Partners, Inc. In

addition to Marquette and Harley-Davidson, partners

include MillerCoors brewing company, Potawatomi

Business Development Corporation, and Aurora Health

Care. Potawatomi is putting tens of millions of dollars

into developing businesses on 11 acres of tribal land in

the heart of the area. The land was previously used as

the campus of Concordia College, which relocated to

suburban Mequon a few decades ago. MillerCoors has

a major brewery and offices for many of its corporate

employees across the street from Harley-Davidson on

the west side of the area. And Aurora Sinai Medical

As their conversation developed, the Marquette and Harley-Davidson leaders realized that to deal with safety problems, what they really needed to do was to improve the whole neighborhood.

Marquette Lawyer 25

Center is on the east side of the area, just north of the

Marquette campus.

The anchor institutions have pledged more than

$1.5 million to fund the effort. They are also putting a

large amount of time and energy of employees, including

top executives, into the initiative.

But leaders of the five anchors go to lengths to say

they do not want this to be a top-down project in which

the future of the area is decided and imposed by a small

number of heavyweight players. Through numerous

meetings in the community, residents, small business

owners, and others have become involved.

“A top-down approach is not going to work,” Kelly

Grebe, chief legal and corporate services officer at

MillerCoors, told the audience at the “On the Issues”

program. “Just throwing money at the problem is not

going to work. We need to have residents involved, and

we have had that involvement from day one. We’re here as

anchoring institutions, and we have a little bit of money to

throw at the problem. We need the residents, and I think

we’re seeing the residents and the businesses step up.”

The group also has emphasized that this is not

intended to be a gentrification effort, aimed at moving

out lower-income people and moving in people who

are better off. The goal is to make the area better for

everyone, including the people who live there now,

and to continue to have a high number of social service

and nonprofit agencies serving the people of the

neighborhoods involved.

As Rana Altenburg, vice president for public affairs

at Marquette and president of the board of directors of

Near West Side Partners, put it, this is not a “not in my

backyard” effort aimed at keeping people with needs of

many kinds at a distance. “We’re the backyard,” she said.

“We like our backyard.”

So what needs to be done for the project to

succeed? The answer can be broken down into

several subjects.

Aiming to improve safety All involved agree that safety is a prerequisite to

improvement. Hossenlopp said, “The safety piece is

absolutely critical.” For Marquette, that is a big factor in

keeping student enrollment strong.

Across the area, community leaders have built

rapport with the Milwaukee Police Department, the

city’s Department of Neighborhood Services, and the

Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office, both on

general strategies and on ways to focus on specific

needs. The latter include such efforts as trying to

close down a tobacco store on N. 27th Street that has

required several hundred visits by Milwaukee police

in the last several years and shuttering an apartment

building several blocks away that was the source of

problems. Both the apartment building and the

Police Department, succeeding the university’s public

safety department whose officers had fewer enforcement

powers, was “a huge step forward for us,” Lovell said.

In his State of the University address in January, he said

that since the Marquette police initiative began, the area

that officers patrol had 34 percent fewer robberies and

26 percent fewer crimes overall than in the comparable

period a year earlier.

Near West Side Partners has launched an effort

called Promoting Assets and Reducing Crime (PARC),

which aims to pursue two goals: actual improvement in

safety and improvement of people’s perceptions of the

neighborhood. Perceptions are sometimes as influential

as the reality itself, leaders say, and they can be

improved. The effort includes promoting an awareness

of the facts about the area as well as knowledge of the

many cultural and lifestyle assets the area already has.

Improving the array of housingThe five anchors are making it a priority to improve the

overall quality of the places people have available to live.

One goal is to attract more of their employees to

live close to work. Investments to offer better living

situations—whether in existing properties or in

homes needing renovation—are increasing, said

Keith Stanley, executive director of the Avenues West

neighborhood association and the Near West Side

Partners organization. Leaders talk optimistically about

developers’ interest in area projects.

The goal is not to price people out of the

neighborhood. But several key figures, including

Alderman Bauman and real estate developer Rick

Wiegand, said that tearing down some of the problematic

properties built a half century ago may be a needed step,

because the properties are not of high quality and the

density in the area is too high.

But, Bauman said, the area can—and in his

expectation will—become increasingly attractive

as a place to live. He notes its affordable housing,

proximity to downtown and other areas, good access to

transportation, nearby employment opportunities, and

neighborhoods that are in themselves attractive.

“These assets should naturally be blooming and

growing and prospering,” Bauman said. “Instead, there’s

the big lead weight that sits on top of them,” which is

too much rental property.

One new resident in the area is Thomas J. Devine,

CEO of the Potawatomi Business Development

Corporation. While the Potawatomi name is associated

with the casino and hotel south of the Marquette

campus, the tribe owns 11 acres in the heart of the near

west side. The tribe is building businesses on the land,

including a high-security data storage center, and it

expects to employ 700 people on the land in the future,

Devine said at the Law School event last fall.

Devine himself lives in the neighborhood, several

blocks from the tribe’s land, and often walks to work.

“I want to show people that living here is safe,” he said.

“There’s a true beacon of hope if we live here, if we work

here. And if we can stand on that and show others that we

do that, it just changes” the way others regard the area.

Attracting business and jobs Nobody personifies the drive to bring in new

businesses and jobs more than the developer Rick

Wiegand. In the mid-1990s, he bought the Ambassador

Hotel, on W. Wisconsin Avenue at 23rd Street, which

had been a trouble spot for years. He said he “nursed it

along” for years but, around 2005, decided to invest in

turning it into an art deco hotel that would draw visitors.

Many people thought it couldn’t be done, he said, but

the project has been a success. He also bought several

surrounding properties and took firm steps to assure

that responsible tenants rented his apartments. Wiegand

has succeeded in putting new energy in the area and, as

he puts it, extending “the safe zone” around Marquette a

half dozen blocks or more to the west.

Now he has bought a set of buildings known as

City Campus at N. 27th and W. Wells streets. With the

recent departure of some Milwaukee County offices,

the buildings, including a former hospital, are vacant,

and Wiegand is working on ideas of what to do with

them, including attracting business tenants, commercial

storefronts, and residential renters.

“I like the challenge of trying to turn around the

neighborhood,” said Wiegand, who also owns a substantial

number of properties offering students apartments closer

to the Marquette campus. Wiegand said he has succeeded

with the Ambassador. “Why can’t we do it on 27th Street?”

The grocery store idea has been at the forefront of

efforts to bring in new businesses. “As of toda
