Don't know, but here's my hopes/dream...HP,<br /><br />Don't know, but here's my hopes/dreams:<br /><br />1) More cyclists on MD. Cycling is a great way to get around, especially for Monona residents. Also, hopefully the residents of Atwood, Jennifer Street, Willy St, etc find reasons to ride down to Monona...<br /><br />2) Madison is shamed into adding bike lanes to Atwood Ave. There was even an article today in TCT about cyclists pushing for more involvement from the City of Madison. The lake loop is FINALLY COMPLETED!!!!!!!<br /><br />3) MD attracts more "walk up" commercial establishments. Cafes, bars, restaurants and shopping slowly fill the abandoned shopfronts instead of more traditional "drive up" establishments (insurance sales, law offices, corporate parks, etc).<br /><br />4) People utilize the wide sidewalks and bike lanes to treat Monona as a destination location. Park and walk along, stopping in at places for either food or drink, or browse through shops.<br /><br />Hey, I can dream, can't I?Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168799006781664530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35666868.post-5160404781754565442009-07-21T08:18:38.288-05:002009-07-21T08:18:38.288-05:00I was driving down Monona Drive this morning and n...I was driving down Monona Drive this morning and noting all the changes already and work done. It got me thinking what does this mean for Monona over the next 10 years. Yes, the gut reaction is a smooth driving surface, but what else.<br /><br />Does it mean more development and what type? Does it mean more bikers on Monona drive? What will it look like in 10 years.<br /><br />Just Curious<br />Henny PennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
