additional meetings, the Pedestrian, Bicycle, Motor Vehicle Commission (PBMVC)
will also be taking a vote on this next Tuesday as well, prior to the Common
Council meeting. The PBMVC is televised and the Commission would welcome public
comments on this agenda item. -Best, Aaron

Action Alert!
Speak up for bike lanes on Sherman Avenue
We’re happy to announce that the City has a plan to slow down car traffic and
make bicycling and walking safer on Sherman Ave. These recommendations are the
result of a long-term, community-driven effort to improve conditions for
bicyclists and pedestrians in the neighborhood.
First, Sherman Avenue will become a 3-lane street from Trailsway to Fordem
Avenue, consisting of a lane of traffic in each direction and a two-way left
turn lane in the center. This change will make room for bikes lanes in addition
to pedestrian refuge islands at five locations along the project corridor.
These changes will greatly improve conditions for the countless pedestrians and
bicyclists who live and travel in this area. Currently, bicyclists and
pedestrians have to share the sidewalk as there is no safe place to travel by
bike.
We need YOUR HELP to make this plan a reality. The Madison Common Council will
vote on whether or not to make these changes. Please mark your calendar and
plan to attend the upcoming Madison Common Council meeting and voice your
support.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, please send an email in support of the
changes to the Common Council. You can reach all the Common Council by emailing

A big thank you to the City of Madison Traffic Engineering and Engineering
divisions and to Alder Satya Rhodes-Conway for making this major safety
improvement a possibility.
