Thanks to everyone who attended Atwoodfest this past weekend! The weather was, well, typically scorching for the last weekend of July, but it was a good time nonetheless, raising lots of money for local projects and orgs.
There are two big public meetings this week that you may be interested in. Tonight (Monday) is a public meeting for the first phase of Madison Lakeway. Thursday evening will be a review of a watershed study that impacts ALL of District 6.
Last night the Common Council voted 17-3 to amend MGO 8.35, also known as the "Shoreline Ordinance," to make the first phase of the Madison LakeWay exempt from referendum. I was one of the three alders to vote against this.
Please join me next Thursday, July 24 at 6:30pm for a public meeting to present the East Isthmus and Yahara River Watershed Study. This important work has been studying how to build infrastructure to better handle stormwater on the isthmus.
