Yes, thank you for your notes on the Comprehensive Plan. My hub and I just got back from China with our adoptive daughter, but I hope one of us is sane enough to attend the meeting at Dean Clinic East on June 2.
What alarms me is we have seen two vehicle/pedestrian deaths...
and now one vehicle/bicyclist "accident" all within less than a year, all within about a 3 mile radius. Three car versus pedestrian/bike incidents, with two deaths, within less than a year, in a very small geographic area. To quote Willy Loman, "Attention must be paid!"

your own private piece of sprawl....

Almost needless to say, this is the same problem all around Madison, not
just in the Buckeye Road area. It's a problem around most moderate and
large sized cities. But just because the problem is not unique to
Madison, that does not excuse the City of Madison from addressing it.
Unfortunately, based on my review of the city's latest plan, this problem
is going to continue to get even more intolerable in Madison in the years
to come.
