Many, many thanks, Chuck, for pushing for these things. And thanks
Mike, too, for continuing the push for cleaner transportation. Now,
hopefully we can activate more of the lurkers on the list to help the
usual suspects push for these things by bugging their alders & co.
supervisors--especially the folks out in the peripheral areas of the
city & even the burbs beyond.

I've criticized the ramp, as well as the city's refusal to implement
other solutions to the *perceived* dearth of parking downtown, such
as a networked system of electronic signs that tell motorists
approaching ramps 1)how many spaces are available in that ramp,
2)how many spaces are available in the next closest ramp(s), and how
to get to those other ramps.
I've also suggested to the city that the city's *minimum* parking
requirements all be changed to *maximum* parking requirements,
saving developers money and discouraging the provision of excessive
amounts of parking and the car oriented landscapes that result.
You might make these suggestions, and/or your own, to the city of
Madison (and other nearby municipalities), rather than flogging the
UW for doing the right things.
