I stopped at the Maple Bluff Town Hall and spoke to Police Chief/Village Administrator Tim Krueger to thank him for implementing the bike lanes on North Sherman and to ask if he would do something to make it easier for bikes to cross the RR at a right angle in the bike lanes. Riding southbound, I have to actually stop and walk my bike over those tracks with my skinny tires when there is a car in the lane next to me.
He was incredibly kind and gracious and wanted to walk out and look at it with me to fully understand the problem and necessary solution. I demonstrated the issue and he asked how much asphalt extension I thought was needed to make a safe crossing. He said he would add asphalt the next time there was asphalt used in the village, which would be awhile. Since the sidewalk was due to being replaced soon, he thought they might put sidewalk there. Tim wasn't sure if the east side of the road was his jurisdiction but was happy to contact Madison and figure that out. He was very receptive and considered it an important safety issue to take action on. Donna
