So what is, Mike? You did a fantastic job as lead planner at WisDOT for this area. You gave us bike facilities against tremendous odds. How do we solve the problem of more and more cars and trucks in a congested corridor like the Beltline?

I would think this will take some cars off the Beltline by providing a more direct and safer bicycle commuter route between Madison, McFarland and Stoughton. Currently, bicycling between these communities can only be done under very challenging conditions, especially at the US 51/Beltline intersection. The eventual long-term solution to Beltline traffic congestion, however, will be construction of a connector between US 18/151 at Verona to I-39/90, which would eliminate the need for vehicular traffic heading east-west to go through Madison. There are all sorts of property owner, economic and environmental issues, but this will eventually happen to avoid making Madison a transportation choke point.

I would hope that they are building this to relieve some of auto commuter traffic in the area. But it seems they're bent on adding more lanes to the beltine regardless. The should use this money to establish a bus system between Madison and the outlying communities instead. But of course that won't help keep the pockets of road and bridge builders full.
