School’s Back, Vision Zero Action <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=1571daed85&e=a16a5cf835> *By Ben Sandee on Aug 29, 2022 10:01 am* [image: UW band students on their bikes transporting their instruments] <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=8482b46400&e=a16a5cf835>Expect to see a lot more of this (Cyclists of Madison <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=c07a21309c&e=a16a5cf835>) This Week It’s a quiet week on the schedule but I suppose that with school starting up many will be busy with new schedules and new bicycle routes. Presumably the University will be wrapping up many of their summer-long projects and closures that have been so disruptive to navigating through campus. Of course, you still have a month-long closure of a segment of the path on the north side of University Ave to look forward to. Expect that in later September <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=27b2cf7491&e=a16a5cf835> . As part of the Vision Zero <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=49cc0c258c&e=a16a5cf835> program, this week the city is reducing speeds to 35mph <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=dcedb99e7f&e=a16a5cf835> along the stretch of Mineral Point Rd from Whitney Way to the Beltline. This includes the location where Taylor Dunn was killed on his bicycle <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=731b5d50ac&e=a16a5cf835> in early June. Vision Zero is getting a lot of attention from Madison Bikes, the City of Madison, and the press <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=61548e4723&e=a16a5cf835>. Now you can explore and visualize different aspects of the data driving these discussions with the Madison Vision Zero Dashboard <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=48fe6ce4fb&e=a16a5cf835> created by Harald <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=625554f6bb&e=a16a5cf835>. This complements and expands upon his work in the Twitter bot sphere <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=e7cbafd6a3&e=a16a5cf835> . Finally, on *Sunday*, maybe bisect your a long Labor Day weekend with a late summer classic, the Wright Stuff Century <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=4c19c3691c&e=a16a5cf835> presented by the Bombay Bicycle Club. This year it’s free for everyone with route lengths ranging from 35-100 (hilly) miles. Last Week If you’re looking for more immediate engagement, there are plenty of discussions on the Madison Bikes Community forums <https://madisonbikes.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3db86f59ef64d8176a7c41c81&id=6deab3fdba&e=a16a5cf835>. A quick glance over the last week and you’d find topics such as: - The increase in bike thefts in Madison and bicycle locking strategies - Repeated attempts to sabotage and (presumably) injure users of the Southwest path by stretching cables across at a bike bridge - A call to action to get the City of Monona to consider bicycle lane improvements on the Atwood/Monona Dr corridor Something for everyone!
