Hi Everyone: My first post. My family has returned to Madison after a very long absence. Great to be back to a GREAT city.
FYI, I am sure many of you know the Bicycle Transportation Plan for the Madison Metropolitan Area and Dane County is working on a plan for improving bicycling conditions and increase bicycling levels throughout Dane County. The plan has been online for several weeks and is being presented to the MPO policy board TONIGHT. For details: http://www.madisonareampo.org/planning/BikePlan.cfm I think the plan is a really great start with some innovative analyses and is chock full of great recommendations. It obviously reflects a lot of work. But I also think it is as yet an incomplete (but eminently fixable) plan for reasons I highlight in the linked document. In a nutshell, it needs to better address connectivity issues, needs more time based measureable outcome for the goals, and needs to better address intersection improvements. I personally would respectfully urge the MPO policy board to postpone adopting the plan at this time and urge some discussion here of the issues I raise and the plan itself. Interested what other people think. Apologies if this has been covered, as mentioned, I am new to this list. My comments on the plan: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=3FC3897D341E4786!138430&authkey=!ABZ_zyaz7cQhrFc&ithint=file%2cPDF Cheers, Hank Weiss
