Streets and Sidewalks

The city of Madison will debut a new interactive map for bicyclists and pedestrians in late summer or early fall. The map is part of an effort to facilitate traffic and improve the channels for public feedback, and city officials provided an update on its progress during a meeting in late June.  

 “The map is a tool for pedestrians to use to make their own suggestions and see what other people have suggested,” said Jose Navarro, engineering aide for the city of Madison. “The city can use it to see what citizens are saying so they know how to respond to them.”

If a red-shirted volunteer asks you to change your regular Sunday drive route this weekend, it’s because up to 25,000 bikers could soon be passing through as part of Madison's fifth annual “Ride the Drive” event.
