Intermodal Station at Milwaukee, Wisconsin

$\"Intermodal$

This intermodal station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin serves Amtrak passengers as well as several bus companies. A local bus, Milwaukee County Transit System #57, picks up passengers outside the station. Sidewalks leading to the station from the north provide a way for people to walk to or from the station and nearby downtown attractions. The station includes a spacious, attractive, and well-lit waiting area. Currently, there are seven train departures from here on the Amtrak Hiawatha service to Chicago (six on Sunday) and seven train returns from Chicago\'s Union station back here (six on Sunday). Also, Amtrak\'s long-distance Empire Builder route serves this station. The bus connections go throughout the city, county, state, and region.

I think this kind of intermodal station will be important for all high-speed rail terminals -- allowing the riders of the fast transit to then get onto local transit to complete their trip. Moreover, this station in Milwaukee is within walking distance (1 km) of downtown, the Historic Third Ward, and the Menomonee Valley. I walk from my apartment to this station if I want to take a train and walk home from it. This is important: the station has to be integrated into the cityscape, not placed out in the burbs where no one can walk to it or from it. Ideally, it should be located close to attractions, hotels, restaurants, cafes, and city life. Reduce the automobile storage (parking) nearby if necessary to make possible a dense, people-oriented area around the station.
