Maple Bluff committee plans town hall to reintroduce gateway (streetscape) plan
Summary
Committee agreed to schedule a town-hall to present the 2017 gateway/streetscape concept, gather resident feedback and demonstrate options (including temporary on-street layouts), with engineering and planning staff present to answer questions.
Committee members agreed to schedule a town-hall to reintroduce the village’s gateway/streetscape plan (the 2017 concept) and to gather resident input before making revisions. Several members said the primary controversy will come from changes that affect traffic flow — notably removal of the continuous center turn lane — and recommended presenting defensible option diagrams and having engineer Brian Burquist and planner Mark available to answer technical questions.
Members discussed outreach steps: mailing notices to Sherman Avenue residents, inviting businesses, pre-circulating plan pages, and using barrels or temporary markings in the road or parking lot to demonstrate alternative lane configurations. The committee emphasized the need to coordinate with Madison’s adjacent roadway work and to clarify which road segments the village controls versus the city.
Next steps: staff were asked to identify dates that work for Brian and Mark, assemble a presentable concept (Option A/B/C or the previously favored Option C), and arrange a town‑hall demonstration with appropriate staff and public-notification steps.
