Special Saturday Event To Encourage Shopping and Dining in Shorewood


The Shorewood Business Improvement District is pleased to stage its third and final Streetscape Saturday on June 21. Our day-long Streetscape Saturdays events throughout the business district along Oakland Ave. and Capitol Dr. have put a new spin on shopping and dining in Shorewood. Shop Shorewood: Spend the Day is our motto for buying locally and making sure area businesses not only survive, but thrive, during the streetscaping project. Many thanks for supporting local Shorewood businesses!

The Village of Shorewood initiated its streetscaping project last fall to include all of Oakland Ave. from Edgewood Ave. at Shorewood’s southern border to Glendale Ave. at the north boundary. Many communities and neighborhoods have reported that streetscape projects jump-start business traffic and energize economic development opportunities. It is anticipated that Shorewood will be no exception! Later this summer, the business district will experience the benefits of improved street lighting, enhanced crosswalk safety features, new benches, planters, and trash receptacles, and landscaping beautification. Way-finding signs/kiosks and public art are being discussed for the future. After the streetscaping project is completed, Shorewood’s new “look” will be unveiled in late summer.
