Thanks, Mike. I urge everyone to take this opportunity to stick a pin in all those problem intersections, needed connections, and other needs. Sometimes there is a connection, but we need wayfinding. Sometimes it is one intersection or gap that means whole areas of the city or county are not accessible to novice or timid bicyclists.
Once you get the hang of the "mark location" feature and learn to be brief, it's pretty easy. For what it's worth, I found it easier to turn off the "planned" facilities to be reminded of what is there now. Once in awhile something has changed and I haven't caught but. It also makes it more obvious where the gaps are. I am glad to hear you are coordinating with the Madison in Motion efforts. I feel like I have brought up the same issues at five or six different venues, committees, and focus groups. WisDOT is also doing a study of needed connections and improvements along and across the Beltline. I hope you are sharing data back and forth with them as well.
