Agenda: www.cityofmadison.com/council/district2/documents/Ideas%20and%20Discussion%20about%20Mifflin%20Bike%20Boulevard%20and%20Lapham%20School%20Traffic%20Safety.pdf

Traffic safety is an important aspect of our quality of life.  Our growing city, with a significant amount of that growth in District 2, has resulted in increasing concerns about traffic safety, including especially around Lapham School and on the Mifflin Bike Boulevard.  The Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association Council has identified this topic for special emphasis in 2017.

Please join me, along with representatives from the City's Traffic Engineering Department and neighborhood representatives to help define the issues and to explore ideas for improvements.
