Commission recommends Madison pedestrian plan with land‑use action to support walking

The Transportation Commission recommended approval of the City of Madison’s draft pedestrian plan and added an action asking staff and city partners to treat land use as a tool that can further the plan’s goals. Kevin Licki, the city’s pedestrian and bicycle administrator, said the plan was funded by a USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All grant, drew more than 500 public comments, and sets goals and measures through 2035. He emphasized the document is policy‑ and programmatic rather than listing site‑specific infrastructure projects.
