I record music as Spiral Island. I write speculative fiction under the pen name Aster Loxley. I also play in Gentle Brontosaurus. Expect posts about Madison, biking, cats, etc.

what's the reason for the season? I'm not sure, but I do know that SANTA CLAUS IS MADE OF FRACTAL PENISES

An east-west bike boulevard to Park St was not on the city's radar; Catalpa would also be too close to the tracks for an RRFB

This project is scheduled for June-October next year. I think they mentioned Fish Hatchery is due for a reconstruction in 2030 or so

A regular bike commuter expressed concern that there'd be no safe route while this is constructed

This would involve removing some sections of on street bike lane to move curb and create the path. Not everyone might appreciate that

Raised crossings at Culmen and at Carver (Madison Newspapers)

This would also involve a new bike/ped bridge over Wingra Creek

There will be a new signal at Martin & Fish Hatchery. It will include a diagonal path crossing. One driveway apron at the laundromat would be removed

The former Town of Madison town hall (currently a fire station) will be redeveloped and also include a police station

The OCR also managed removing the RRFB at the current path crossing, because it could make vehicles stop on the nearby tracks

(This is complete nonsense. State law requires stopping for someone in a crosswalk, whether or not an RRFB alerts drivers to their presence)

For all its Maddinian quirk and retro tropes, I watched KEYHOLE make grown men cry during screenings. It has a strong subconscious undertow that packs a wallop.
