In a rare bipartisan proposal this week, democrats and republicans got behind one another in support of one man; legendary Brewers broadcast personality Bob Uecker. Twelve conservatives and eight of their counterparts joined forces over the weekend to introduce a plan to rename a pedestrian footbridge near Miller Park as Bob Uecker Way.
The bridge crosses over the Miller Park Way exit off the interstate and connects the east parking lot to the center field entrance. The group has already convinced the Scott Walker administration to make January twenty-sixth a state wide appreciation day for Uecker and they say this would be the final step in honoring the historic figure.
The final decision will come down to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. A spokesperson for the department told reporters that officials were considering the idea and would reply to the request within the week.
