MILWAUKEE – The wintry mix on Tuesday, Jan. 23 added more problems for many Milwaukee residents having to deal with slushy and slippery road conditions.
Many residents in the city, particularly in the 5th District, are dealing with inches of slush they say hasn’t been touched by the Department of Public Works. But some city leaders are hoping to change that.
Driving on slushy, slippery roads is something Haven Goggans said he’s had to navigate every time he leaves his home.

“Pretty much just rolled over,” Goggans, a UPS driver, said. “Mowed over, partially treated.”
He lives on Milwaukee’s north side.
“The side streets have been the same for quite a few days,” he said.
When it comes to some of the driving conditions there, many of the side roads are covered in several inches of slush.
“Literally, you are driving through these streets, and you feel like you are on an amusement ride,” District 5 Alderman Lamont Westmoreland said.

Many of the side roads are covered in several inches of slush and are still waiting to be plowed and salted by the DPW.
“I am getting complaints nonstop via phone, via email,” Westmoreland said.
Westmoreland said the residents deserve not only answers, but a solution from DPW.

“It’s been like this for two days – I haven’t seen a plow come through here,” he said. “I am sick and tired of just talking about it. It has to get better and I want to hear a concrete plan.”
Westmoreland said the city’s Public Works Committee will be discussing DPW’s snow operations in Wednesday’s meeting.
“Hopefully we can get some answers,” he said. “Not excuses, answers on how we can be better and move forward.”

'This is my pub': Packers Fans fill Moran’s in South Milwaukee for Thanksgiving watch party
SOUTH MILWAUKEE — It was all about the Packers Thursday night at Moran’s Pub on Thanksgiving. Dozens of fans spent the end of the holiday cheering on Green Bay as they took on the Miami Dolphins.
Moran’s invited TMJ4 to check out their special watch party and soak in the atmosphere.
Deanna Olson, a devoted fan, referred to the pub as her home. “This is my pub,” she said. “This is my hometown, South Milwaukee, born and raised. I live here, I love it, and I always cheer on my Packers. I’ve got to bring Grandpa’s flag, and here we are.”

That flag has become a lucky fashion statement of sorts for Olson.
“We went ahead and put this on as an ascot, and then we beat the Bears, so the ascot has to come back,” she said.

Olson wasn’t the only fan relying on a good luck charm Thursday night.
“I always have my Packer purse. Always during Packer season, I’ve got to make sure that I carry this,” said Katie “Grammy” Hilpert.

Hilpert was joined by her daughter and granddaughter. Together, they bleed Green and Gold. Moran’s is her go-to pub, making the game even more enjoyable.
“Oh, they’re my boys. I’m very thankful because they have had a little better of a season, but we’ll take what we can get,” said Hilpert.
During the game, fans had the chance to play games and participate in raffles.
Both Hilpert’s and Olson’s lucky charms paid off as the Packers secured the win.
While Hilpert was grateful to cheer on her beloved Packers this holiday, simply coming together at the pub was already a guaranteed victory.
“What are you thankful for?” asked TMJ4’s Mike Beiermeister.
“Grandchildren, children. Life in general is really good, really good right now,” Hilpert replied, embodying the spirit of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day.
