COVID-19 UPDATE
From Mayor Bryan Kennedy
May 15, 2020
|
|
Greetings, Glendale Residents and Businesses:
The Milwaukee County Local Health Departments signed the COVID-19 Public Health Plan for Suburban Milwaukee County. This Order is in effect through Thursday, May 21, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. In this Order, you will find new guidelines for opening and operating hair salons, childcare centers, beaches, parks, and more.
During this time, I'd like to especially acknowledge our First Responders working the front lines. I salute the health care workers at Glendale's medical centers including Aurora Health Care, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Orthopedic Hospital of Wisconsin, and Ascension Columbia St. Mary's. My humble gratitude to grocery store teams, retail staff, restaurant workers, delivery personnel, and all other essential workers. A huge shout-out to the team at the City of Glendale. I represent both the Council and residents when I offer my deepest gratitude.
To keep everyone informed, we've created a hub of COVID-19 Resources at
www.WelcometoGlendale.com
. You'll find up-to-date information on State Orders, Social Services, and Employment Opportunities. Need food assistance? Want to know which pharmacies deliver? You'll find helpful resources.
It's an honor to serve Glendale during this precarious time in our nation's history. Thank you, again, for your prayers and support during the COVID-19 outbreak.
In community,
Mayor Bryan Kennedy

Important Event Notices & Cancellations
Cancelling community events has not been an easy decision for Glendale's volunteer committees. Long deliberations go into each consideration. Besides the obvious safety concerns, the COVID-19 outbreak has profoundly impacted the financial feasibility of our sponsors and the local community. Many of Glendale's events are dependent upon in-kind donations and generous contributions. We thank the volunteers, committee members, First Responders, and sponsors for their past and future support.

Beware!
Sink Hole in Glendale
|
Please take caution on the Oak Leaf Trail near the Richard E. Maslowski Park. Milwaukee County Parks announced a section of the Oak Leaf Trail's Zip Line (purple line) between Silver Spring and Bender Road is now closed for the foreseeable future, due to a growing sink hole. Follow the on-street detour shown on adjacent map. This sink hole is caused by a collapsing stone culvert, built over 100 years ago, beneath the trail. This sink hole is dangerous and is now barricaded for the safety of all trail users, so please stay away. Milwaukee County Parks is focusing on maintaining safety and actively seeking funding to repair the underlying problem. They have applied for grants to make the approximately $600,000 repair.

FREE TESTING FOR COVID-19
|
FREE COVID-19 testing will be offered on Milwaukee's north and south sides from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. You do not need to make an appointment and do not need to be showing symptoms to be tested.

This is for children who reside in the City of Glendale. This program will begin for children with birthdays on, or after, April 14th and will likely continue until the end of the pandemic.

COVID-19 Public Service Announcements

|
NEED HELP?
Agencies have united to provide food, shelter, addiction counseling, and mental health resources.
It's Free. Confidential. Multilingual.
|
|
|
|
Anxiety? Depression?
Domestic Abuse?
Addiction?
|
Need help? Know someone who does? The stress of COVID-19, combined with isolation, has lead to a rise in domestic violence and other mental health crises. Movement restrictions aimed to stop the spread of the coronavirus may be making violence in homes more frequent, more severe, and more dangerous. No-cost resources and services are available for the victims and the offenders. Scared? These services have measures in place to protect the victim. Shelter and counseling are available. We've provided a list of mental health services.

NEED FOOD ASSISTANCE?
Help is a Call or Click Away!

Watch Out for
Scams & Fraudsters
|
Beware of Scams!
Fraudsters take advantage of precarious times. They can be clever and creative...especially online.
No one should call you for your bank account information in order to deposit your COVID-19 Relief Check. No census taker will ask for your social security number...or come into your house. Do not engage with texts, emails, or conversations from people who claim to be from government agencies. Please remind the senior citizens in your life.
|
|
|
|
Please Help!
- Please check on your neighbors...especially the elderly. Offer to run errands for those unable to leave their home.
- Please visit the WelcometoGlendale.com page often. We have made this site a centralized hub for COVID-19 information and resources. We add breaking-news frequently.
- Please be kind and considerate during this time. Unnecessary hoarding will only create panic and deprive others of essential staples.
- Please support our local businesses. Purchase from local retailers' online stores, order restaurant food for pick-up, etc. Together, we can minimize the economic impact of this crisis.
- Please use "social distancing" and follow the CDC guidelines for staying safe (listed below).
- Please like the WELCOME TO GLENDALE Facebook Page for frequent updates.
- Please call 911 for emergencies only! The Glendale Police non-emergency number is 414.228.1753.
