Don't know whether it's the steepest grade in the city, but Old Sauk
Road between Old Middleton and Ozark Trail is about 12%. And I curse it
every day.

Hi!
The city I live in is going through a mobility crisis as the economy
here has resulted in a bumper crop of cars on streets designed in the
early 1900s.
There ARE a lot of bikers but usually those involved in public policy
are leisure/sport bikers and the large mass of commuters is mostly
untapped for their views.
I believe in data being used to determine best solutions for creating
routes. I'd like to know if*anybody can tell me* what bike
route/path/lane/boulevard has the steepest grade in Madison (what is
the grade and street name/numbers so I can streetview it)?
They say our streets are too steep for people to consider commuting
(and there are some steep places but there are also ways/routes to
deal with that). They also say it gets too hot here (avg 68ºF-88ºF). I
know.....
I'd also like to know if folks have any preferred tools for
measuring/mapping gradient. I've been playing with Google's My Tracks
app but it won't work on my phone - only my tablet:
MyTracks site http://www.google.com/mobile/mytracks/
An example from here (if you click on the end point -lower right- you
can see the data)
