Given the City of Madison is taking the lead on the Cannonball Path over the Beltline, Fitchburg makes a strong case to jointly sponsor the Perry Street Overpass and contribute to the local share.
The Perry Street Overpass is the more difficult project do the need to redevelop the properties both north and south of the Beltline. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Arnold Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 1:24 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Fitchburg Transporation and Transit Commission Subject: [Bikies] Potential pedestrian and bicycle projects Attention: Madison Pedestrian/Bicycle/Motor Vehicle Commission As a founding member and past chair of Fitchburg's Transportation and Transit Commission (TTC), and a Common Council representative of Fitchburg's aldermanic district 4, I would like to comment on your pedestrian and bicycle capital project priorities. I regret that I cannot attend the public hearing, as it conflicts with a Fitchburg Common Council meeting. I suggested to staff and our TTC that as a City, we support Madison's completion of the Cannonball Trail and the Perry Street bike/ped overpass. Our transportation projects engineer, Ahnaray Bizjak, has responded by writing the attached letter, showing how these projects are supported by our adopted Comprehensive Plan and Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans. Jerry Sieling, current TTC chair, will appear at your hearing to advocate for these projects in person. Please look favorably upon these two projects, as they strongly support the policy goals of both Fitchburg and Madison: transportation choice, reduced energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission, and increased mode share for bicycles. Thank you! Regards, Steve Arnold, Fitchburg Alder, District 4, Seat 7 2530 Targhee Street, Fitchburg, Wisconsin 53711-5491 Telephone +1 608 278 7700 .
