Hey Bikies: Forwarding this action alert from Madison Bikes. Winnebago Street is being reconstructed, and one option would create buffered bike lanes as well as canopy street trees. We'll need lots of public support to make that happen. Thanks, Harald.

Plans proposed by the city seek to create a more neighborhood-scale street profile that would benefit residents and street users alike. Option 2 in particular offers positives for everyone using the street: - better access for walking from southeast side of street, especially with the elimination of the current grade separation - better, shorter crossings for people on foot - buffered lanes for bikes - ADA accessible bus stop at Fourth St - narrower lanes for motor vehicles to encourage lower traffic speed - A wider terrace on southeast side of the street would provide space for bigger, canopy-type street trees. <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=78221e6784&e=89451f2199> Rendering of Option 2 (Image: City of Madison Engineering) Please consider coming to the PBMVC meeting on Tuesday and voicing your support for Option #2. For anyone unable to attend, please send an email of support for the all ages and abilities design alternative to the members of the PBMVC, city engineering, and Alder Marsha Rummel before the Tuesday meeting. aaron.crand...@yahoo.com, eclewan...@aol.com, grant...@gmail.com, distri...@cityofmadison.com, hiway...@chorus.net, distri...@cityofmadison.com, distric...@cityofmadison.com, de...@ssc.wisc.edu, jwo...@cityofmadison.com, cbachm...@cityofmadison.com, distri...@cityofmadison.com Read in browser » <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=0b3f75e5ce&e=89451f2199> [image: share on Twitter] <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=3ca622ebba&e=89451f2199> [image: Like Action Alert: Support Option 2 for Winnebago Street on Facebook] <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=4877eed1ca&e=89451f2199> Recent Articles: Madison is hiring a Transportation Director, and here's the weekly update <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=6898d8b963&e=89451f2199> Dispatch from Small-Town Germany <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=f3d82d3318&e=89451f2199> Weekly Update: Bcycle returns, St. Patrick's Day <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=3de48fc94e&e=89451f2199> Winter returns - Weekly update March 5, 2018 <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=b766e70a20&e=89451f2199> Warm weather expected - Weekly update Feb 26, 2018 <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=d77e507ac3&e=89451f2199> <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=a41ec9816b&e=89451f2199> <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=3de7b48a93&e=89451f2199> <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=075750055a&e=89451f2199> *Copyright © 2018 Madison Bikes, All rights reserved.* You are receiving this email because you opted in on our website or signed up at an event in person. *Our mailing address is:* Madison Bikes P.O.
