My Idea
This neighborhood lacks a space to bring people together for most of the year. Redevelopment that brings "third spaces" would be a great addition to this area.

My Idea
The Acewood Park bike path comes very close to the road next to the Culvers on Cottage Grove Road. If those could be connected the access to the Cap City Trail would significantly safer/easier. There appears to be a city well near that area that might make the right of way easier.

Storm water from Milwaukee Street has no drain at corner of Milwaukee + Milo. There are no drains on Boynton Pl and comes two blocks to get in to storm seer under Hamlet Pl. In big rains intersection of Milo + hamlet always floods.

Crossing 51 for bikes and pedestrians is difficult at best and speed of cars is scary while waiting to cross.

Needs Attention
Concern about traffic on Milwaukee Street from Sprecher al the way to East Washington. Dangerous passing on right and left side speeding 55 mph in a 25 mph zone. Bridge too narrow on Milwaukee Street for pedestrians.
replies

Needs Attention
People drive way too fast on Milwaukee Street and they pass illegally on the right if you drive the speed limit. It is stressful to drive on Milwaukee Street and terrifying to bike on it.

There should be an all-way stop at Richard and Walter - people drive too fast on Walter and there is a school right there on Richard Street.

My Idea
The stop signs on Starker Avenue near Elvehjem Elementary are inconsistent. Some are N/S, some are E/W. Most feel like they could be 4 way stops making it safer for walkers.

The pedestrian crossing of Cottage Grove Road and Thompson is better than nothing but is still dangerous due to cars not stopping. In the fall afternoon the sun is also directly in the eyes of drivers coming down the hill and a kid was hit earlier this year.

Need a sheltered (bridge or tunnel) continuous route across CGR for the Cap City Path. Huge gap here. CGR @ 51 cannot be crossed safely here.

It's unacceptable that there is no sheltered (bridge or tunnel) way to cross 51 between CGR and Pflaum. There is a middle & high school down there that kids attend! This must be fixed.

My Idea
Traffic on Marsh road is increasing at an alarming rate since the industrial park off Marsh and Tradesman began adding more businesses. Marsh traffic has been an ongoing problem with the quarry dump trucks but now more large trucks are speeding down the street past the McFarland Park area that has hockey rinks, a curling club, skate park, bocce ball areas, soccer fields, pickleball courts, etc. This is likely McFarland's largest and most visited recreational area. There are many, many children and families present and these huge, heavy trucks are a disaster ready to happen. They drive so fast, they often have to use air breaks to stop at the intersection of Marsh and Siggelkow. I'd suggest making this area a "no trucks" road and direct these industrial vehicles to use Voges Road which has very few homes. Pedestrian and bike safety!

Acewood is wider than it needs to be for a local neighborhood road. Could a multiuse path be added through here like was done on Hammersley?

Needs Attention
Westbound Cottage Grove Rd needs a turn lane toward the YMCA. This can get backed up with cars, and it also gives left turning bikes space to be out of the busy travel lanes.

Things I Love
Agree the existing crossing needs attention but love that there is a pedestrian crossing here that allows me to cross Stoughton Rd without going through the much more dangerous crossings at Milwaukee St and Cottage Grove Rd. I'd like to see more pedestrian crossings.
replies

People frequently try to go from northbound Dempsey into the left turn lane for northbound Stoughton Rd. At best it's congested and at worst dangerous.

The eastbound bike lane here sort of just disappears into the busy right turn lane. I never feel safe here on my bike as I wait for the light.

Widen the bike lane turn turn from westbound Cottage Grove Rd to the bike path. This is a difficult turn to do safely with traffic moving quickly in the dim underpass.

The pedestrian crosswalk sign in the median blocks sight lines for traffic turning from Cottage Grove Rd onto Flora Ln. Can the sign be moved east a bit?

Turn signal needs a protected left when turning from Cottage Grove Rd to Acewood, in both directions.

Needs Attention
Left turns from Swanton are difficult, and traffic tends to ignore the stop sign when turning right from Swanton. Needs something to better manage traffic flows here.
