Middleton committee endorses 'Week Without Driving' proclamation to recommend to Common Council
Summary
The Ped/Bike/Transit Committee voted to support a staff‑draft proclamation for a Week Without Driving and agreed to outreach ideas; the resolution will be forwarded to the Common Council for formal action.
The Middleton Ped/Bike/Transit Committee voted to support a staff draft resolution endorsing a Week Without Driving, an advisory proclamation intended to encourage alternatives to single‑occupancy vehicle trips.
Staff explained the draft would be sent to the Common Council for final approval. Members discussed outreach, including coordinating with high schools and Public Works to align the event with Bike Week. "I support it as written," Kim Madden said before moving the motion to endorse the proclamation; Kirsten Cloughner seconded. The chair called for voices in favor and declared the motion carried.
Daphne (staff) said the event is scheduled for September and the committee has time to suggest edits. The committee’s vote is advisory; the Common Council will decide whether to adopt the proclamation and any city participation or budget commitments.
The committee did not attach funding or operational commitments; staff said they will continue to refine language and coordinate stakeholder outreach before the Common Council reviews the item.
