Contact the alder for the district (Mike Verveer). Wouldn't hurt to contact your own alder if different from where the incident occured.
Also - contact Traffic Engineering - they control lights, signs, warning flags, etc. Several members of TE besides Arthur Ross are on this list - "lurkers" - :) Although they won't be able to do anything (you didn't get the license plate, did you?), it would be good to write/email the Madison Police Dept Central District. Tell them what you told us- that this appears to be a dangerous intersection where people are running the light. Traffic engineers will tell you we need "The Three Es" to make the streets safe: Enforcement, Engineering & Education. Bike Fed adds a fourth E to just get people out riding: Encouragement. Others have added Environment or Example to make riding pleasant and common. But I digress.... Names, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and emails for all your city officials can be found on the city's web site: www.cityofmadison.com -- Robbie At 08:22 PM 07/29/2003 -0700, Martin Lund wrote: >"today when i was riding my bike down state street to >work i almost got hit by a car that ran a red light.
