Richfield, northwest of Milwaukee, has approved a ban on fast-food restaurants in certain areas.
A community outside Wauwatosa has joined the movement to restrict chain restaurants.

Under the amendment, the city would be able to turn away such restaurants in the stretch of North Avenue from 60th Street to 76th Street (Wauwatosa Avenue). The Wauwatosa Common Council is expected to make a decision on the amendment later this month April. A ban on fast-food restaurants was enacted in Sister Bay in 2010, reported the …

Zoning change would prohibit new "formula restaurants" on North Avenue between 60th and 76th streets as business district turns more eclectic. A public hearing is scheduled for March 11.

"Sausage-making at it's finest." So said Ald. Craig Wilson shortly after midnight Wednesday, when a meeting that started at 8 p.m. Tuesday finally adjourned. The process was more akin to the emulsification of an issue – although the end product still strongly resembled its beginnings.

The Mount Tosa development is on the city's west side, at North 113th Street and West Walnut Road. A zoning change to …
