MILWAUKEE - A freeway expansion project could mean fewer headaches for Milwaukee area commuters, but peole who live near the Zoo Interchange see things differently.

Twenty homes in the way of the road plans could be demolished.

Wisconsin's Department Of Transportation plans include I-94 from N. 70th Street to N. 124th and Highway 45/I-894 from W. Burleigh to W. Lincoln Avenue.

Home and commerical property owners have been notified. Many of them, along with Mayor Tom Barrett and and Alderman Michael Murphy are not happy about the plans.

Residents can voice their concerns at two upcoming meetings. The first meeting is Wednesday, May 21st from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Tommy G. Thompson Youth Center at State Fair Park.

The second meeting is Thursday, May 29th from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Wauwatosa West High School Cafeteria.
