I wouldn't necessarily expect you to know this but Milwaukee is east of the Mississippi. The Mississippi runs along the western WI border with MN through the Twin Cities southward. Milwaukee is in South Eastern WI on the shore of Lake Michigan just about 80 miles or so north of Chicago.
Regardless your point is well taken the Midwest is much more spread out than New England for sure. I also feel like the Midwestern cities are "newer" i.e. they were founded after the advent of modern urban planning which I think makes a difference.

I'm not worried about stopping for lights that's fine. I'm just having trouble finding 10 miles of sidewalk. In Milwaukee (where I'm from) we have miles of bike trails along the lake which was amazing, but even within the city 10 miles of sidewalk wasn't a huge ask. I just find this place so strange a city of this size should have sidewalks I don't know why they don't.

I guess to be clear I'm not worried about stopping for intersections I'm just struggling to find 10 miles of sidewalk that are all connected which is weird. I moved here from Milwaukee and it was relatively easy to find that there I just think it's so strange that sidewalks just end here.

The route 12 to 190 on ramp closure was announced as a 45 day closure which started on the 5th. So like 24-25 more days?!?
Edit: This article says it starts on the 4th but it didn't actually start that day.

Joe's Albums is pretty cool. Also That's Entertainment is a cool store with comics and video games and such.

110 residential units. That could be really good if anyone who lives here can afford them.

It's primarily a brewery but Redemption Rock does a good latte.
Also New Tradition.

Going off of this just like...usable sidewalks. There are so many that just end or have trees growing through them and are all but unusable. For runners like me this is incredibly frustrating. I can't even imagine how someone with mobility issues gets around in this town.
