An Opportunity to Talk about YOUR Street

The Let's Talk Streets initiative, an engagement group of the larger Vision Zero initiative, is looking for additional public input about street design and what the public sees as important specifically for Madison.  The recent news release discusses the purpose of this recent survey - to better align future construction/reconstruction, improvements and pavement markings with the values the community feels is important for the safety of Madison streets.

• Survey Link: Take the survey and have your opinion recorded!
