Part of Tenney-Lapham Considered for "Twenty is Plenty" Pilot Program
City Traffic Engineering is proposing a new program called Twenty is Plenty, to reduce the default speed limit of our residential streets from 25 mph to 20 mph. At their May 12, the Transportation Commission will be evaluating several areas of the city for pilot implementation of Twenty is Plenty and a portion of Tenney-Lapham is one area being considered. This portion of Tenney-Lapham can be seen in the map above, but is better viewed in the staff presentation that includes other neighborhoods under consideration and various statistics for each. In Tenney-Lapham, the pilot area would be bound by N. Blair St. and the Yahara River between E. Washington and E. Johnson.
Note that Twenty is Plenty, whether a pilot or eventually extended citywide, will apply only to residential streets (not arterials or non-residential streets). If Tenney-Lapham is chosen for a pilot, the speed limit would drop to 20 mph in that area, but would still be 25 mph on the border streets of E. Johnson, E. Washington, and N. Blair.
Research has shown that speed plays a critical role of the outcome of a crash when it occurs. Lowering the speed limit can save lives and is a key component of the City's Vision Zero Initiative. On May 12, the Transportation Commission is expected to choose one neighborhood that has a Neighborhood Resource Team (generally underserved neighborhoods) and one that is not an NRT-served neighborhood (such as Tenney-Lapham).
The Mayor sums up the issue in this blog post: Slower Speeds Save Lives and 20 is Plenty. I am supportive of this pilot program being located in our area so we can judge its effectiveness. Note that as with most Vision Zero implementations, speed limits and street design are crucial elements of slowing traffic down. Traffic Enforcement also plays a role, but we cannot enforce our way out of many of the negative impacts of speeding, rude, and bad drivers - the city does not have the capacity to do so. There are also equity concerns related to traffic enforcement in its current incarnation and it also exemplifies our over-reliance on the police - we ask them to solve too many problems for which there may be better solutions. Vision Zero and Twenty is Plenty are possible alternate solutions. If you'd like to watch the Transportation Commission meeting on May 12, give public comment, or email commissioners, details are in "City Meetings of Interest" below.
East Gorham Resurfacing Project Begins
As many of you have experienced, construction has started on the E. Gorham St resurfacing project. The contractor is currently working on the storm sewer and new curb around the Hamilton St. and Franklin St. intersections, and MG&E will be starting work on their gas main in the Brearly St. to Few St. areas. Overall the project will take approximately six weeks to complete, and Gorham St. will mostly remain open to a single lane of traffic while work is taking place.
At several intersections there will be improvements made for pedestrians and curb bumpouts installed to slow vehicular traffic. Between N. Few and N. Brearly Streets, a bike lane will be added and street parking reconfigured. Unfortunately, some street trees will be removed in those two blocks to accommodate the reconfigured street parking and the bike lane. City Engineering was able to limit the tree removals to mostly small trees and trees under power lines that were planted there because they do not grow to canopy size, but a couple of mature trees will also be lost. It was a difficult balancing act for staff to design a plan that will both install a bike lane and keep most of the street parking capacity for residents. No doubt some folks will be displeased with some aspects the plan, but I believe that the installation of the bike lane is a net positive. For more information visit the project website where you can see full project plans and also sign up for email updates
1046 E. Washington Restaurant at Plan Commission on May 10
On May 10, Plan Commission will consider the Conditional Use Permits requested for a new restaurant with outdoor seating at 1046 E. Washington on the ground floor of Arden. The owners of Red Sushi on W. Washington are planning a new fast-casual restaurant with indoor seating and outdoor patio seating adjacent to the alley between Lyric and Arden. Project plans can be found here.
City staff confirmed the small patio design's Urban Design District #8 compliance rather it than going to a full consideration by the Urban Design Commission. The Alcohol License Review Committee will consider the restaurant's application for a liquor license at a future date. If all approvals are obtained, the owners anticipate an early fall opening. TLNA Council earlier voted to support the restaurant's applications for Conditional Use Permits. Generally, I support the proposal, but will be keeping an eye out for reasonable patio closing hours and their plans to minimize the impacts of any associated vehicular traffic on the E. Mifflin Bike Blvd. Note that free parking will be available for restaurant customers in the Arden parking garage and several E. Washington Ave. parking stalls will be changed to short-term parking stalls that will be available for restaurant pickup/delivery purposes.
Participation options for the May 10 Plan Commission meeting are listed on the meeting agenda listed below in "City Meetings of Interest". You are also welcome email comments in advance of the meeting to pccomments@cityofmadison.com or you can contact me.
Historic Preservation Month Focus: Gates of Heaven
During the month of May, the City Engineering Division will focus on one of the oldest surviving synagogues buildings in the nation, located in District 2! Engineering would like the community to join in celebrating Historic Preservation Month as we focus on the recent restoration work at Gates of Heaven.
Gates of Heaven was built in 1863 and is one of the oldest surviving synagogues in the nation and is located in James Madison Park. Gates of Heaven is a locally designated landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Throughout May, City Engineering will focus on different parts of the Gates of Heaven restoration work with social media posts and a video highlight. The community can expect unique information they've never seen before about the following topics on the City Engineering Facebook and Twitter pages:
May 3: Celebrate Historic Preservation Month with Engineering
May 7: History of Gates of Heaven and its relocation
May 14: Exterior restoration: brick
May 21: Exterior restoration: stone
May 28: Exterior restoration: windows and doors
May 31: Thank you for celebrating with us!
Gates of Heaven is currently undergoing restoration work which includes restoring the masonry, windows and doors. The work also includes cleaning and consolidation of the Madison sandstone, limited repairs to stone, cleaning of brick, repointing of stone and brick, rehabilitation of the wood sash, doors, and related trim, and installation of exterior storms on all windows.
UDC Consideration of 12 N. Few Proposal On May 12
The Urban Design Commission will consider the proposed redevelopment at 12 N. Few Street on May 12. The proposed redevelopment consists of 8 commercial spaces with 8 one-bedroom apartments with 4 residential parking spaces. The application, staff reports, and public comments received to date are posted here.
The proposed demolition of the current addition on the N. Few side of the building and the demolition of the larger Scooter Therapy building's back wall was considered by the Landmarks Commission in March. They found that the current Scooter Therapy building held no significant historic value. While many may find that the building does hold historic value, the Landmarks Commission must base its finding on current historic preservation standards. This finding of Landmarks will be forwarded to the Plan Commission who will consider the proposed demolition, likely our May 24 meeting. Plan Commission will not otherwise consider the proposal, so UDC is an approving body.
On May 12 UDC will consider two items:
- the proposal's compliance with Urban Design District #8 standards, and
- a proposed amendment to UDD #8 to decrease setback requirements at the corner of N. Few and Curtis Court that allow a new building to be as close as 5 feet to the Curtis Court sidewalk. The remainder of Curtis Court's required setback would remain at 15 feet.
Participation options for the May 12 UDC meeting are listed on the meeting agenda listed below in "City Meetings of Interest". You are also welcome email comments in advance of the meeting to urbandesigncomments@cityofmadison.com or you can email me.
May 11: Capitol Neighborhoods, Inc., Hosts Virtual "Cookies with a Cop"
Join your neighbors and Madison Police Department Representatives for a conversation about recent events in Madison's downtown neighborhoods. The event will be held on May 11th, via Zoom. Discussion will begin at 7:00 PM and conclude at 8:00 PM.
The event will begin with brief introductions of the police representatives, then proceed to questions submitted to the organizers prior to and during the meeting. Attendees will be able to submit questions to the organizers by email at Info@CapitolNeighborhoods.org before the meeting or through the Zoom chat feature during the event. Attendees are strongly encouraged to email questions or concerns prior to the event in order to help facilitate a more productive meeting. If we have extra time after our submitted questions are answered, we may open the event to follow-up Q&A from attendees. In that event, we will ask that folks limit their questions and comments to three minutes per person in order to ensure that other neighbors also have the opportunity to speak.

Community Fridge Gains Extension until August
As I reported earlier and as you likely have heard through media reports, the Community Fridge in the 1000 block of E. Johnson, was the subject of complaints in early April. After city staff informed the fridge organizers that they must become code-compliant by April 8, I facilitated a 30-day extension so that the organizers had until May 8 to find a path forward. Fortunately, the fridge organizers, City Zoning, Building Inspection, and Public Health Madison and Dane County have now come to an agreement that the E. Johnson fridge can remain until August.
While this is good news, the fridge will be looking for a new location because the current hosts are moving in August. If you know of possible locations for the fridge, please contact madisoncommunityfridges@gmail.com. It is likely is that fridge operations in a new location will need to see some changes/upgrades to ensure compliance with various city regulations. Another ongoing effort will be to update city zoning ordinances to make fridge operations compliant, but this is expected to take several months.
Note that City staff did not conduct a proactive inspection of the site, but was instead reacting to the complaints. It is unfortunate that some felt the need to report the site given that the Madison Community Fridges volunteers have been providing an important food resource for some of those most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout. This location had been operating since August 2020 with no previous concerns or complaints, from what I know, and has been a prime example of how mutual aid efforts can build community and do good.
