Subject: A New Look for Sherman Ave
Friends -
I'm writing because you've contacted me about Sherman Ave in the past. The
Traffic Engineering report I requested is done, and can be found here:
http://madison.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1282786&GUID=CF39ED1C-7DEE-4BCC-B629-B29218517F5E&Options=&Search=.
I've introduced a resolution to implement the recommendations of the report.
That can be found here:

In short, the City’s Traffic Engineering Division is recommending improvements
to decrease vehicle speed and to make it safer for pedestrians and bicycles on
N. Sherman Ave. The report recommends two main changes to the street. First, to
reconfigure the
street cross-section between Trailsway and Fordem (pending cooperation from the
Village of Maple Bluff) from the existing four lane street to a two lane street
with a center left turn lane and bike lanes, and second, to install
pedestrian refuge islands at five high pedestrian crossing locations along the
project corridor.
The changes will be discussed and voted on at the following
meetings:

Estimates
