Can Madison do this? If not, why not?   Ann M. Freiwald, ASLA   From: Reed Dunbar Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 8:41 AM To: Ann Freiwald; Jon Hoffman; Abigail Kiefer; Samyukth Shenbaga Subject: Chicago Releases Complete Streets Policy (10.16.06)   The city of Chicago today released a landmark Complete Streets Policy that for the first time mandates that all users must be accommodated in all transportation projects. “This will save lives,” said Chicagoland Bicycle Federation Executive Director Rob Sadowsky. According to a multi-agency document issued by the city, the policy is expected to be implemented in a variety of ways that have been advocated by Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and its Healthy Streets Campaign. The policy calls for pedestrian improvements like bulb-out curb extensions for crosswalks, countdown crossing signals, median refuges and re-timing signals to minimize pedestrian delay and conflicts.     Reed Dunbar Community Planner 608-441-3593 direct   Please visit us at www.saa-madison.com   SAA is proud to be the recipient of two 2006 WASLA awards for our work in Galena, IL and Burlington, WI as well as a WAPA award for our work on the Union Corners Redevelopment in Madison, WI.   *This message and all accompanying documents are covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 USC 2510-2521, and contain information intended for the specified individual(s) only.  This information is confidential.  If you are not the intended recipient, be aware that any disclosure, copying, distribution, or use of the content of this information is prohibited.  If you received this transmission in error, please contact the sender immediately and delete the original message.
