Dar,
Could you provide a link to a map that defines exactly what the "UW
Campus" is?
It's entirely obvious in experiencing the huge influx of traffic and
street congestion when UW is in session (including when there is no
Obama rally or other Kohl Center event) compared to periods when UW is
not in session, that UW is a major contributor to Madison traffic
congestion, and it does seem to become more severe every year.
There are many campus or "campus related" buildings going up every year,
such as the recent UW Children's Hospital; more ongoing health center
construction; and buildings such as "The Lucky" apartments/dorms on
Johnson Street. "The Lucky" has a very large parking structure attached
to it. If this is under the 13,000 stall cap, then what parking has
been abandoned or will be abandoned upon completion to offset these new
spaces?
Also, assuming Madison EVER has rail service in the Campus Drive
corridor, does the UW master plan call for a cut in parking stalls to
encourage heavy use of rail service to campus, by those whose
destination is the UW campus?

Just a comment, though Dan is welcome to his opinion about his
perception of UW-Madison transportation priorities, parking on
the UW campus has been capped at 13,000 stalls for some time.

Good for Ripon College, President Joyce! I wish cycling was the
prevailing thought at UW-Madison, where I attended grad school
(many
years). Although there is a fair amount of cycling on campus,
there
was/is a constant battle with parking ramp proposals
in Madison.
