President Biden will announce billions worth of new infrastructure investments to reconnect communities while he is in the battleground state of Wisconsin on Wednesday.

The funding, $3.3 billion in total, will focus on communities in more than 40 states that were divided by transportation infrastructure decades ago, according to the White House.

Biden will be in Milwaukee as part of his travel to swing states following the State of the Union address last week.

The new funding will include $36 million for Milwaukee’s 6th Street Complete Streets Project, which aims to reconnect communities along 2.5 miles of a corridor that was cut off in the 1960s.

Everything matters at the margins. $3 billion is a lot for one medium sized state, in the sense that, it'll make a dent. And given how close some swing states are decided by, it could be decisive.

He will likely announce checks in the last moment before the election. That does not mean it will make a difference.

Voters grade Biden on his record, not his promises.

It's $3 billion split across projects in dozens of states. Milwaukee is getting $36 million to put in a couple of miles of divided bike lanes and crosswalk improvements.

It's a small project, and it's a bit pathetic that it takes a federal grant to build something so basic. But at least it's better than dumping billions into electronic medical records.
