Subject: [Bikies] Survey Invitation and Public Meeting Notice for South Capitol
study
Forwarding this email to Bikies, because I think it will be of great interest.
The survey and study in general is devoting a lot of thought and energy to how
to make this area of the city work better for all modes of travel. There are
quite a few questions about using intersections and trying to access different
areas by foot, bike, transit, and car.
Note that the first meeting of the study committee is this Thursday.
Your thoughts and opinions on the survey are important. It's a little long - it
took me about 10 minutes (?) (I prefer survey formats that tell you how far
along you are, which this one does not.) There are 26 questions, but some are
multi-part or "which of these are important to you."
Please pass this around in your neighborhoods, work places, or social groups,
especially among those that travel to/through the downtown via Wilson or John
Nolen (including the path).

SCTOD Survey
Please take a few minutes to fill out the following survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SCTOD. This survey is designed to gather your
opinions and perspectives on the South Capitol District. Please share the
survey link with friends and neighbors!
Public Meeting Invitation – Meeting Reminder
What: South Capitol TOD (SCTOD) District Planning Study Public Meeting
Where: Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center
When: 6:00 – 8:30, Thursday, June 13th
Please join us at the first public meeting of the SCTOD Planning Study. The
SCTOD planning district stretches from Bedford Street to Blair Street and
includes the area between Wilson Street and Lake Monona. The purpose of the
planning study is to identify transportation improvement projects and further
define opportunities for development consistent with the Downtown Plan with
easy access to a variety of transportation modes.
The SCTOD Planning Study will include:
· Exploring options for a pedestrian/bike bridge across John Nolen
Drive and better connecting the Downtown to Lake Monona
· Considering converting Wilson Street into a two-way street
· Identifying potential streetscape improvements and redevelopment
opportunities along Wilson Street
· Exploring site options for a transit center for intercity buses and
possibilities for adjacent or on-site development
· Identifying Capital City Trail enhancements that address the needs of
both pedestrians and bicyclists
· Analyzing improvements to three key intersections including North
Shore Drive and John Nolen Drive, Broom Street and John Nolen Drive, John Nolen
Drive/Blair Street and Wilson Street/Williamson Street
Please take this opportunity to share your opinions and perspectives on the
SCTOD. Please forward this email on to your neighbors—the more input we
receive, the better the study will be! Doors will open at 6:00 pm on Thursday,
June 13th. A short presentation on the project will begin at 6:30 pm followed
by exercises intended to solicit your thoughts and input.
