In reply to Lyle Hanson's comments: The sane thing in my view is to avoid bicycling on the Square totally, until the city terminates this experiment. If it takes them until the next election to do that, so be it.
If we have to go to or around the Square, why can't we just walk our bikes the few blocks necessary and then get off of it? This is not a time to compromise on anything that runs counter with the objective of reducing traffic in Madison, and any solution involving the new parking spaces does just that. I testified personally against this project, and I have chosen not to go to any businesses on the Square since the beginning of the experiment (including the Farmers Market). If the Square merchants want MY business back, they'll need to ask that the City return the parking situation back to the way it was were before - without the new parking spaces. I ask that others join me in boycotting all places of business on the Capitol Square, until such time as the City of Madison returns the Capitol Square for use by primarily pedestrians, non-motorized forms of travel and mass transit.
