Milton focusing on connectivity, safety in new parks plan

MILTON — In its new five-year outdoor recreation plan, the City of Milton is prioritizing connectivity, accessibility, safety and repairs. The proposed plan will be reviewed by the city’s Plan Commission and Common Council this Wednesday for approval. City Administrator Paul Hensch said the plan is crucial because it not only provides a roadmap for future park investments, but it helps the city prioritize limited funding and makes it eligible for state and federal grants. “Connectivity was one of the strongest themes we heard from residents,” Hensch said. “People want to be able to move more easily between their neighborhoods, parks, schools and other destinations.” The city hopes to preserve attractive areas for eventual park or recreational purposes, provide parks within walking distance of all new residential areas, emphasize family-oriented facilities within the parks, coordinate with area partners to provide services to residents via parks when possible and encourage expansion of county parks and recreational facilities in the Milton area. The work started in 2024 through public meetings and surveys, which were incorporated into the plan proposal. City staff also evaluated parks and had discussions with the Parks and Recreation Commission. As part of safety, accessibility and repairs, the city

Letter | County needs to shell out for mental health provider

Dear Editor: Regarding “Dane County must stop underfunding mental health services," Oct. 20. It hit me like a ton of bricks that the Dane County's Journey Mental Health Center, led by the heroic Sarah Valencia, is not being reimbursed properly. For the last year we have depended on their staff to get us through some very rough times. Our adult son, who has a profoundly disabling schizophrenia, depends on regular anti-psychotic medication and psychiatric oversight to help him live in the same reality as everyone else.
