Those possibly included are R Avenue, Clark Street, Hopkins Lloyd Community, Keefe Avenue, and Seaford.
There's also a recommendation of spending up to $355 million for projects, including the construction of three new schools.
The committee plans another meeting September 28th to continue the discussion and to gather community feedback.
Milwaukee Elections Commission Executive Director Paulina Gutierrez is addressing city elders following a data mistake that delayed August primary results.

Health officials say they've confirmed the first case of West Nile virus this year in our state in a human and a horse.
Both cases are in Brown County, though West Nile has been detected in other parts of Wisconsin in birds.
Even as we head into autumn, mosquito bites are still a risk.
West Nile virus can lead to mild flu-like symptoms, but health officials say most people infected with West Nile don't have any symptoms at all.
People who are older or who have chronic health conditions are at higher risk of severe illness.
There are things you can do to protect yourself.
They say to use insect repellent, wear long sleeve loose fitting shirts and pants.
use screens on doors and windows to keep mosquitoes out, and drain any standing water in your yard that may have collected in things like bird baths, flower pots, clogged gutters, or tire swings.
Meanwhile, measles has made its way to Marathon County near Wasaw.
Health workers there have confirmed a case of measles in a Marathon County resident.
They say the person contracted measles while traveling outside Wisconsin, and this case is not linked to the measles outbreak in southwestern Wisconsin.
That's where the majority of our states' measles cases have been confirmed, though in addition to the case in Marathon County, there have been single cases confirmed in Dane and Waukesha counties.
According to the DHS's website, Wisconsin has had 164 confirmed cases of measles this year.
163 of those cases were in people who were not vaccinated against the disease.
Federal investigators are now trying to figure out why a small plane carrying Republican candidate for Governor Tom Tiffany lost power and landed in Lake Wasaw.
Recovery crews pulled the Beechcraft K-35 from the water Monday, giving the Federal Aviation Administration a chance to inspect it.
Tiffany and his pilot were hurt but suffered only minor injuries after the emergency landing Saturday night.
The FAA says its investigation could take months.
A Green Bay man arrested for driving into a crowd and injuring four police officers last weekend appeared in court yesterday.
61-year-old Craig Buford is charged with three drunk driving offenses, recklessly endangering safety and fleeing or eluding an officer.
Green Bay police say they were responding to another disturbance at a food truck in downtown Green Bay around 2.30 in the morning Saturday when Buford blocked a car from leaving a parking lot, causing another disturbance.
The criminal complaint says Buford ignored police ordering him to stop and accelerated through the parking lot, hitting a woman in the knee and an officer before turning toward another group of people.
When another officer ran toward Buford, he reportedly squealed his tires and headed toward that officer.
The officer moved out of the way and fired four shots at Buford.
No one was injured by the gunfire.
Buford was arrested a few blocks away.
Police say four officers were treated for injuries and the Green Bay downtown farmers market scheduled for the following morning was canceled.
A new report estimates tariffs have cost Wisconsin $5.5 billion since the start of 2025.
The National Taxpayers Union Foundation put the cost at about $2,100 per Wisconsin household.
The report says machinery and parts account for the biggest share, with an estimated $525 million in added tariffs.
A recent cancellation leaves Wisconsin voters with just one gubernatorial debate this October.
WTMJ-TV, the Milwaukee County Intergovernment Council, and UW-Milwaukee pulled the plug after Tiffany's campaign declined and Crowley couldn't confirm the original date.
The October 21st debate on WISN-TV and WIS Politics remained the only scheduled meeting between Crowley and Tiffany.
It will be aired on stations across the state.
And that's your state news update.

NFL, there may be changes on the Packers offensive line after Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Quarterback Jordan Love was hit 18 times during that game in Minnesota.
One of the things that makes him so impressive is his ability to get the ball out accurately with pressure in his face.
Obviously up front, we got to make sure we keep him out of those situations as much as possible.
But as you know, in the NFL, quarterbacks got to be able to make plays no matter what.
That's the Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenevich with Sports on Mike Clemens.
