Bikeways 2023
March 13, 2024 Update
After hearing feedback from the public at the PIM and internal deliberations, the Odana Road Cycletrack has been removed from this contract. We are gathering survey for a more all ages and abilities friendly design from Wedgewood Way to Charles Ln on the south side connecting to a spur of the Southwest Path. Because of the added costs of our approach, this project will be designed and built separately from this project and we hope to obtain budget to construct within the next few years.

Project Information
Project Overview
Our Bikeways contract is meant to cover small improvements and repairs to the city bike network. The four projects below have been identified by planners and residents as crucial missing links for bike accessibility, safety, and comfort.
- UW Arboretum Entrance: This is a 10’ shared use path connecting Manitou Way with McCaffrey Drive, which is the western entrance to the UW arboretum. This project is contingent on the granting of an easement from the University of Wisconsin. It includes an RRFB pedestrian crossing.
- Lakeside Cycletrack: This is an off-street, two-way cycletrack on the south side of Lakeside St connecting two sides of the Bay Creek Neighborhood in south Madison. It includes the removal of parking on the block, pavement replacement, and new curb and gutter. This project has been discussed in a public informational meeting for 2022 Bikeways.
- Elver Park Path: This is a repair of an existing path in Elver Park between McKenna Boulevard and South Gammon Rd., and a section of the Greentree Park Path north of McKenna Boulevard. This project will include a new culvert at the north end of the path to improve drainage.
Project Limits
- UW Arboretum Entrance: On the east side of Seminole Highway between Manitou Way and McCaffrey Drive.
- On the south side of Lakeside Street between Gilson Street and Rowell Street
- In Elver Park between McKenna Boulevard and South Gammon Rd
