Reimagine Sheboygan
Hi. I'm Mike.
Jump in. The water's fine.
I just want to be part of this. A neighbor, saying hi. I'm having fun, and I'm happy to be here.
If you know me from TikTok, hi. Yes, I'm the goofy one.
Positive. No blame. A swing beats a win anyway.
This is a proposal. It is an idea for Sheboygan, not a city plan or a decision.
Your ideas first
Some questions I'd love to hear your answers to. Tell me when you see me. Where to find me →
- What would get you out of the house in January?
- What place along the lake do you love just as it is?
- Where do you wish there were a bench, a bathroom or some shade?
- What would make getting around easier for you?
- Where would you put a swing?
Then mine
Four ideas, each one starting from something real.
-
The Geode
Today: Rotary Riverview Park is city-owned, 2.7 acres. Source: city records.
My idea: A crystal cut into the hill.
What would you want on the free floor?
-
The free bus grid
Today: Shoreline Metro has 9 regular routes plus 1 seasonal, all meeting downtown. A trip costs $2. Source: city records.
My idea: A heated, frequent, free loop.
Where would you ride it?
-
Swings and play
Today: Deland, North Point and Vollrath parks are all city-owned. Source: city records.
My idea: A dozen big swings on one painted line.
Would you take a swing for ten seconds, just because?
-
The January festival
Today: The lakefront bus, Route 40, runs mid-June to Labor Day weekend. Source: city records.
My idea: Keep the lakefront open in winter.
Which night would you come out?

Show up, say hi
Budget dates from city documents: October 14, 2026 (budget review and public hearing) and November 2, 2026 (the 2027 budget and capital plan are adopted).
Wave at a neighbor. Waving is free.
Come on in. The water's fine, and every word of it will be on the record.
