Neighborhood Indicators Project update.  A new set of data (2020 Edition) has been added to the City of Madison's Neighborhood Indicators Project (NIP)--a tracking system with trend data going back to 2008. NIP was designed by the City of Madison in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Applied Population Lab. Interested in learning more about NIP data and the NIP website? The City of Madison Planning Division offers free workshops to local organizations. Please contact Urvashi Martin at umartin@cityofmadison.com for more details.

Water Quality Report. On June 23, Madison Water Utility released its annual water quality report.  Learn more and read the report in English or Spanish.

Recycling Contaminants. The City of Madison's recyclables collected by the Streets Division contain 12.8% trash. In other words, 12.8% of what is placed into our recycling carts should not be there and should instead go to the landfill.  Read more Recycling Contamination Update and learn what you and your family can do to recycle more and recycle right.

Engineering Buzzing with the Bees. For the first time, the City of Madison Engineering Division will tend to bees this summer with new beehives near Nesbitt Road and Maple Grove Drive.  Learn more here.

C.A.R.E.S. Update. If you missed the opportunity to attend the Public Information Session about Madison's Community Alternative Response Emergency Services (C.A.R.E.S.) initiative, the session was recorded for you to view at your leisure.  Follow up questions or concerns may directed to Deputy Mayor Reuben Sanon at rsanon@cityofmadison.com.

Meet Bella. I adopted Bella a month ago and she's brought much joy to my life. If you see me walking her around the district, please say Hi!.

Take care and enjoy the summer!
