Dear Friends,
A sincere thank you to everyone that was able to participate in Bike
Dane 2012. I really appreciated your time and enjoyed the
opportunity to directly see the enthusiasm and commitment to biking
in Dane County.
I'm sending this email to recap the meeting in case you missed
anything or were unable to attend. Here are the highlights:
I am committed to continuing BikeDane and would like to meet on
an annual basis.
The entire BikeDane report that was generated from the 2010
meeting was incorporated into the 2012-2017 Dane County Parks & Open
Space Plan (POSP). The POSP may be viewed at:
http://www.countyofdane.com/lwrd/parks/open_space_plan.aspx
I have asked staff in the Dane County Highway and Land & Water
Resources Departments to coordinate their efforts on bicycle
infrastructure and to use the BikeDane recommendations as a starting
point for decisions. For example, in 2012 this resulted in the
addition of bicycle lanes along CTH J in the Towns of Cross Plains
and Springdale. The County will also use BikeDane recommendations
as a starting point when we work with other units of government,
such as the MPO, and nonprofit organizations, such as the Bicycle
Federation of Wisconsin.
There are several county highway projects coming up in the next
few years that will include bike lanes or improved conditions.
Please contact Pam Dunphy at 266-4036 or [email protected] for
more information.
Bicycle infrastructure continues to be an eligible project under
the 2012 Partners for Recreation and Conservation Grant Program.
Applications were due on April 2nd and I look forward to reviewing
the grant requests. Last year, several bike-related projects were
funded, such as the grant to the Village of Oregon for connection
from the Village to the Badger State Trail.
The County is working on several large and very exciting bike
trail projects in 2012. We recently completed a spur trail from the
Capital City Trail to Baxter Park in the City of Madison. Another
great example is the design and engineering that is currently
underway to close the 6-mile gap between the Glacial Drumlin and
Capital City State Trails. Please contact Chris James at 224-3763
or [email protected] for more information.
The County would like to host three bike events in 2012. Our
focus for this year will be on paved trails at Cam-Rock, Lake Farm
and Badger Prairie County Parks. We'd like to create
family-friendly events that include both trail rides and companion
activities, such as berry-picking, disc golf, and mountain biking.
In future years we may expand the events to include road riding
between County Parks. We are just starting the planning effort and
hope that you'll volunteer to sit on the work group. Please contact
Laura Guyer at 224-3765 or [email protected] if you have any
ideas or would like to volunteer. We need your ideas!
I've also attached the PowerPoint presentation from the meeting that
provides additional information.
I look forward to continuing our work together to expand bicycling
options throughout Dane County.
Have a fun and safe season!
Sincerely,
Joe Parisi
