Hello neighbors,

Please make sure to get your leaves ready for pickup today: Check the set out dates for your home online or by calling the Streets Division at either 608-266-4681 or 608-246-4532. You can be the first to know if weather forces leaf schedule changes or if it will allow for an extra pickup. Sign up to get Brush & Yard Waste Schedule Updates.

Note: Public Health offices will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, for the Veteran's Day holiday. (Public Health is a City-County partnership, with staffing by the County. The County, but not the City, nor the State, has recognized Veteran's Day as a paid holiday.)

Public Information Meeting (PIM's)

  • Learn What's Next for Pathways to 2050: The Greater Madison Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) works with 36 communities across Dane County to plan for the region's transportation needs and help direct millions of dollars in federal funding to local transportation projects. Right now, the MPO is updating Pathways to 2050, the region's long-range transportation plan. The plan will help guide transportation priorities and investments over the next 20–30 years, including roads, public transit, biking, and walking.

Over the summer, the MPO gathered feedback from community members through surveys, focus groups, and community events. Now, they're hosting virtual public meetings to share what they heard, how that feedback is helping shape the plan, and what's coming next. Join one of two upcoming virtual public meetings:
