MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Two young women are recovering from severe injuries after a driver plowed through barricades on Water Street in Milwaukee last month, while their families express frustration over what they see as insufficient response from city officials.

On July 20, Chloe Handrich and Sam Zganjar were in downtown Milwaukee crossing Water Street, behind barricades that were supposed to be pedestrian safe, when a driver plowed through the barricades and into them.

The driver was cited for failing to yield and driving without insurance or registration.

Friday, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson held a press conference talking about downtown and Water Street specific safety improvements.
