Traffic Safety Tip: Free SLOW DOWN Signs Available

Slow Down

Here's an easy way to combat aggressive and rude car drivers - pick up a free SLOW DOWN yard sign at any Madison Police Department District location, thanks to the Safer Communities' Slow Down Campaign. The North District might be easiest for folks nearer to the Tenney Park area, but the Central District also has signs. Give them a call at the phone numbers listed on the district links to make sure they still have signs.

E. Johnson Reconstruction Update

The East Johnson and First Streets reconstruction project continues into mid-November. Please visit the project website to stay up to date. Jeremy Nash at City Traffic Engineering continues to address issues related to signage and traffic calming measures during reconstruction while MPD continues to do spot enforcement to discourage cut-through drivers and to encourage them to slow down and stick to the main arterials. Please contact the Traffic Enforcement Safety Team if you have particular concerns about speeding and driver behavior. As we get closer to school starting, I'll pass on the pedestrian and bike routes that will be available for getting to and from schools.

New Stop Signs at N. Baldwin & Elizabeth Streets

Eliz_stop

The temporary 3-way stop signs at the corner of Elizabeth and N. Baldwin Streets are now in place. Traffic Engineering (TE) agreed to install these to slow down and dissuade cut-through drivers trying to avoid the E. Johnson reconstruction project. These should have additional benefits once school starts after Labor Day given that many children bike and walk to school through this area. Thanks to TE and to neighbors who advocated for these signs.

Temporary Ban on Alcohol in Reynolds Park

At their August 8 monthly meeting the Tenney Lapham Neighborhood Association voted to support another temporary 90-day ban on alcohol consumption at Reynolds Park. This was due primarily to input from neighbors living near the park who reported an increase in illegal behavior often associated with the over-consumption alcohol. MPD Central District and I both support this as a temporary solution; it may take a week or more to enact as the Parks Division considers the request. TLNA is expected to continue evaluating the situation, as will other stakeholders, including neighbors, MPD, the Parks Division, and park users.

4th Annual Black Restaurant Week: August 11-18

The fourth annual Black Restaurant Week will take place Aug. 11-18, 2019. Each participating food vendor will have a special during the week. The theme this year is "Harnessing the Power of Black Excellence." The Madison Black Chamber of Commerce promotes Black Restaurant Week as one way of actively supporting Black businesses. More info here.

Salvation Army Redevelopment Proposal Update

The Tenney Lapham Neighborhood Association Steering Committee, TLNA Council, and city committees will consider the proposal in the future, but no meeting schedules have been set. Contact TLNA via their website to participate in the neighborhood evaluation process.

Repeat: August Moving Days 2019

On August 14th and 15th leases for most downtown area apartments end. That means that thousands of residents will be moving out of their old apartments and into new ones. In 2018, Madison's student moving days put over 1 million pounds of material into the landfill. That's so much stuff. We can do better than that! Before you landfill it, donate it, or sell it, or best yet, move it with you.

See this website for resources to help reduce the amount of your stuff going to the landfill during these moving days. It is crucial to follow the rules and regulations so Streets Division crews can collect all that waste material as quickly and safely as possible.
