transportation housing education environment affordable
Cultural or Historical Interests
My Community has a large Norwegian population. There is the Livsreise - Norwegian Heritage Center; Sons of Norway lodge; and the annual Syttende Mai parade. There is a vibrant quilting, weaving, woodcarving, rosemaling, Grieg Chorus and other communities. The Stoughton Norwegian Dancers feature High School dancers who perform locally and tour abroad. There are many Lutheran churches as well.
Community Activities and Services
My Community has a historically large Norwegian component. We look to maintain and expand this element as a matter of pride, as well as drawing visitors. Our downtown has the restored Stoughton Opera House for performing arts. The Stoughton Village Players has their theater here. There are also a variety of stores, galleries, restaurants, Victorian homes and other attractions. We are trying to revitalize, rebuild and restore the town. The Yahara river runs through the town, offering opportunities, such as developing a new white water canoeing stretch by removing an old spillway/dam.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Restoring "blighted" areas of Stoughton is a priority. Keeping the Yahara an asset to the city is also a priority. Removing the spillway and building a White Water Park in its place would be. Managing growth is a focus as we receive spillover homebuyers looking to locate here to commute to Madison, WI
Community Needs and Concerns
Stoughton has a mix of rural farming, woodlands, suburbs, and urban areas. Reconciling these diverse groups can be a challlenge.

Cultural or Historical Interests
Most of the community has some ties to the University of Wisconsin-Madison--students, faculty, other staff, and alumni. A large part of the community is a historic district. The architecture and residents (age, religion, ethnic background, etc.) are varied.
Community Activities and Services
My community is centered around Vilas Park and Zoo and surrounded by the Monroe, Regent, and Park street business areas. It includes a branch library and two hospitals and related clinics. There are several churches and a synagog, but many if not most of us belong to more distant congregations. Neighborhood House serves primarily the eastern end of the neighborhood. Buses run along Regent, Monroe, Mills, and Park streets but not in the core of the neighborhood.
Economic or Environmental Interests
We share a concern for the natural environment of Lake Wingra, Vilas park, smaller parks, and the University of Wisconsin Arboretum.
Community Needs and Concerns
The busy streets (Park, Regent, Monroe), natural features (Lake Wingra, Wingra Creek), and large institutions (Meriter and St. Mary's hospitals, Edgewood College, clinics) form boundaries of the community. Our shared concerns include protecting the community from the detrimental effects of motor vehicles (noise, air and water pollution, danger to pedestrians, climate change).

Cultural or Historical Interests
My community is somewhat diverse. Various ethnicities, and sexual orientations. My immediate residence tends to an older age group. 50’s and up
Community Activities and Services
My community is made up of lakefront residents on Lake Monona. We boat and sail in the summers. Local gathering places include Olbrich Gardens, Pinney Library, and local businesses.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is on the lakefront. The lake here is very shallow and weed choked. Prevailing winds push sediment full of polluting chemicals to our shore. It’s a great concern to our community.
Community Needs and Concerns
Our community needs a stronger tax base. Currently it is primarily property taxes on residents. There’s not much industrial or retail contribution. I’d draw lines that represent the needs of lakefront owners

Cultural or Historical Interests
It includes low-income housing (e.g. 7933 Tree Lane, nearby Senior Center, and Wexford Ridge), dense housing (e.g. Tamarack Trails condominiums), multiple apartment buildings (say 4 stories or less), and single family homes.
Community Activities and Services
My community encompasses the southwestern section of the Madison Beltline (includes the interchanges at Gammon Road, Mineral Point Road, Old Sauk Road, and Greenway Blvd). It includes shopping areas, has some elementary schools and a high school, and is served by a Madison Metro Bus Route.
Community Needs and Concerns
One concern is integration across the Beltline for the area around Woodman's West Grocery Store, south on High Point Road to Mid Town Road, west on Junction Ridge Road /Pleasant View Road/County Road M, and north to Middleton.

Lake Wingra
Aug. 18, 2021
transportation housing diversity environment
Cultural or Historical Interests
My community is mostly white, and this is due in large part to the history of racially discriminatory real estate practices in this neighborhood. My perception of the age range is that most people are young families or retirees. There aren't a ton of students who live in this neighborhood, but there are a few recent grads in the apartments.
Community Activities and Services
My community lives around Lake Wingra and the UW Arboretum, and it is a focal point of many of our year-round adventures. We also live on or near Monroe Street and value the vibrant shopping and restaurants there.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is very concerned about salt and other contaminants polluting Lake Wingra. It's the focal point of recreation in this neighborhood and each year the water quality is getting worse, affecting fishing, swimming, birding, and paddling opportunities. Economically, most people in this neighborhood work somewhere else (on UW's campus or downtown or in suburban office parks).
Community Needs and Concerns
Our community needs to be united around protecting Lake Wingra. Since football Saturdays also affect this community, Camp Randall should probably be included.

Cultural or Historical Interests
Many people in my community are white and skew on the younger side (25-34).
Community Activities and Services
People in my community typically walk, bike, or take the bus to work or school. There are several bars in the neighborhood that people gather in, and they range from dive bar to more classy cocktail bar. There are also coffee shops nearby, and there is a grocery store within a 10-minute walk to many people. Most of the housing in the area is rental housing. Students from the University of Madison tend to be graduate students. Several high-rise buildings are luxury apartments occupied by Epic employees. Downtown Madison is just a 10-minute walk. Healthcare options are near enough to walk to or ride the bus to.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Residents in my area tend to be employed as graduate students at the UW, are young professionals working for Epic, or they are professionals in the service industry. Tourism is a heavy draw for downtown Madison. One issue is trying to create a transportation system that does not force those tourists to bring cars into the congested downtown area.
Community Needs and Concerns
We need to create a transportation system that will last well into the future, be reliable, and get people to where they need to go more effectively and efficiently. We also need to create a homeless services center within reach of those folks who are experiencing homelessness - near downtown. We keep trying to puch these folks to the fringes without supporting them. Part of that support includes meeting them where they are.

transportation housing diversity environment affordable
Cultural or Historical Interests
My community is influenced by its history of one of Madison's earliest neighborhoods. It's history as an industrial area shaped many of the area buildings which now comprise the Third Lake Historic District. A period of decline in the 1960s and 70s, followed by a counter culture revival continue to shape the character of the neighborhood today. Growing popularity of the area is now driving up housing prices and changing the composition of the area.
Community Activities and Services
My community is characterized by many restaurants, shopping, and music festivals both within the neighborhood and because of it's proximity to downtown. Location along Lake Monona also shapes our community through parks, beaches and the Yahara River.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community borders Lake Monona to the South and includes the Yahara River.
Community Needs and Concerns
My community has common interests with other neighborhoods on the Isthmus in Madison as well as downtown Madison. These neighborhoods are very engaged in civic affairs. They all grapple with growing popularity of the area that, along with City policies, lead to increase in housing and commercial construction. How to accommodate the growing demand while maintaining a high quality of life for all is an ongoing challenge.

Community Needs and Concerns
My community is too tied with Madison, a far different community with the university, etc. There are many large farming operations within the area and I would like to see our State representatives be more centrists versus far left for better representation of the farming community issues.

transportation mental health education elderly environment
Cultural or Historical Interests
When the going gets tough, we pitch in to help each other. The tornados that came through, the flooding brought out the best in our community. Someone always has a shop vac, or a chainsaw or extra hands to help others in need. We love Black Earth Creek, Salmo Pond, Rookies. We’re progressive. Our local police are friendly and appreciated. We miss World of Variety and True Value and wish Duluth Trading Company would stop compelling property owners to sell their businesses and build condos instead.
Community Activities and Services
In Cross Plains likes community activities. We’re proud of our local businesses and natural beauty. We love PTO events at Park Elementary, the Firefighter’s breakfast, and trout days. Our library, municipal pool and parks are favorites. We eat at Reyes, the Bowling Alley, and Culver’s. Nineteen09 is a lovely bit of class with a small town feel.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Black Earth Creek and the runnoff area needs to be preserved. We love our bee lawns and are proud to be in the Driftless area.
Community Needs and Concerns
We need local businesses to thrive. We need places to shop that don’t force us to go into town and patronize big box stores. We are proud of who we are and don’t want to be madison. We wish madison liberals wouldn’t write us off as hicks who don’t care. Progressivism looks different from here. And the unintended consequences of big sweeping policies can be bad for our local economy. Our internet sucks, our cell phone connectivity is terrible. We need a way to get into Madison since that where all of the County’s services are. But we pay taxes on them too. Why do we have to struggle to access them?

My community - Sun Prairie - has evolved over time into an East-West city especially with the development of separate east-west high schools and their corresponding attendance areas.

Most communities of color (African American and Latino) reside in the center/east and far east side of town. A sizable Asian/Middle East population resides on the west side.

Cultural or Historical Interests
There's a lot of Lutheran churches in the area, and generally welcoming. The area is predominantly white, English speaking. With the influx of newer residents, more cultural diversity is introduced. Hopefully some of the existing long term residents will embrace more of the change.
Community Activities and Services
Our community is growing quite a bit with all of the new housing developments, and some of the existing residents may not like the change! All in all though, we're a community close to Madison with a lot of people in the Healthcare industry. The schools were all recently renovated, so that's a big draw to live in McFarland. We're also one of the lakes that link together in the area.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Most people are employed in Madison. Quite a few are in the Healthcare industry with area hospitals and the UW being nearby they're a lot of educators in the community as well as for Madison. The area lakes and waterways are polluted and have an overgrowth of algae, especially with a lot of phosphorus that enters into the system. The landfill only has a couple more years to function... and then what!?
Community Needs and Concerns
There are a lot of little communities that should probably just be annexed into surrounding areas like Monona, Stoughton, McFarland, etc... that way the smaller towns, like Blooming Grove, would then be wrapped into McFarland, for example... the kids come to our schools anyways, may as well have them share the tax burden.

Tell Us About Your Community!
July 21, 2021
Cultural or Historical Interests
Mifflin Street was the epicenter of the anti-war movement in the Midwest in the late 1960s and 1970s. The State Capitol is a beautiful building, the interior of which was restored in the 1990s to honor the history of our state government. State Street and surrounding streets feature notable commercial and residential buildings with plaques describing their place in the history of our city and state. The Overture Center for the Arts is a more recent building of distinction. #AMENDS is a community-based, interactive art project hosted by Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA). It brings together artists, community leaders and the public to lay the groundwork for the eradication of racism.
Community Activities and Services
Our community is distinguished by its downtown Madison location near the State Capitol, State Street, the Central Branch of the Madison Public Library and other cultural, governmental and economic resources. It is on the isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, and its central location makes it generally accessible to excellent healthcare, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and multiple continuing education opportunities, as well as entertainment, shopping and dining. The many students who live in the area, along with professionals and retired residents, make this a vibrant community.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Our community is the center of state, county and city government. Most residents who are employed work in government, healthcare, education including the UW, and high tech companies, including Epic. Many students who live here work in the service industry, including restaurants. We have a diverse, educated, multilingual and multicultural community. We are fortunate to have many excellent ethnic restaurants. While much of the housing is quite expensive, Capitol Centre Court provides low-income housing designed especially for people with disabilities. Also, the adjacent Bayview area has more affordable housing.
Community Needs and Concerns
Economic and environmental concerns include homelessness, the health of downtown businesses (especially locally owned businesses), and the health of the lakes. The community needs more mixed income housing, better accessibility for people with disabilities, and a neighborhood park that is easily accessible to all ages within a few blocks of the Capitol.

Although our community has its roots and many traditions in small town life, rapid growth and social change produced a city with the diversity and the issues of inequality that come when the scale of an organization or community grows. What was unseen becomes visible. We need to address these changes not as a call to the return of small towns, but a chance to address needs that were already there, but in scale seemed more manageable, or where visible differences did not enhance the divisions.

Community Activities and Services
My community consists of those individuals that send their children to schools in the Lodi Area School district and those that attend St. Olaf parish in De Forest.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is located on the edge of Dane County and most individuals work in the Madison area. It is important for us to have county resources spent in our smaller communities to ensure roads are passable for getting to work.

Cultural or Historical Interests
We share history since our settlement crosses borders, and our culture is similar because of shared interests.
Community Activities and Services
My community shares services, school districts and plans for growth together. We share highways and interests and partner in many projects.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Water features are shared, and Six Mile Creek runs though our entire area. Agriculture is very important, as are small businesses, the service industry, and a regional roadway which cuts through us.
Community Needs and Concerns
It is important to keep us together as best as can be done rather than gerrymand us as has been done in the past. We are suburban in nature, but with a rural character we work hard to keep.

Schenks/Atwood neighborhood

Tell Us About Your Community!
July 8, 2021
Cultural or Historical Interests
My close community is quite gentrified and white. The closer one gets to Lake Monona, there are fewer rental units and larger more expensive housing. Our immediate neighborhood has house values that are increasingly pricing all but the well-to-do out. I'd say that my immediate community is progressive politically. More and more wealthy families with young children are moving in.
Community Activities and Services
Goodman Community Center is a vital member of our community which serves all ages and especially those facing economic hardship. It is the most racially diverse institution in our neighborhood. Pinney and Hawthorne libraries are very important as well. We have a thriving commercial corridor on Atwood Avenue.
Economic or Environmental Interests
We are located near Lake Monona. I believe people are mostly employed in the city of Madison. Our community's run off goes directly into the lake resulting in high levels of weeds and bad smells in the summer. We are home to Kipp Industries which emits air pollution.
Community Needs and Concerns
Our community needs a population reflecting the diversity of our city. We could easily be divided into an all-white, high economic class neighborhood that could be pitted against other communities in Madison.

Community Activities and Services
Not surprisingly, we do a lot just within about a 1-mile radius of our house: walking the dogs around Walnut Grove Park, going to Alicia Ashman Public Library, visiting friends and family who live nearby (some of whom are on the other side of Gammon or Old Sauk Road), going to restaurants on Mineral Point Road or Old Sauk Road, going to Parkcrest Pool, etc.

Cultural or Historical Interests
My community is made up of students from around the globe attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are all tied together by our university attendance. Most individuals living in my community are 18-24 years old.
Community Activities and Services
My community is made up of college students engaged in learning and growing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I live at the intersection of Madison between student life and a busy entertainment district. Here, we value health care, affordable schooling, and a safe campus community.
Economic or Environmental Interests
The University of Wisconsin employs most individuals in my community. The preservation of our campus' wildlife at the UW Arboretum and Lakeshore Nature Preserve is essential. Additionally, the health of Lake Mendota and Monona also impact my campus community.
Community Needs and Concerns
Our community should be united together as a campus while maintaining equal representation. We must have access to fair and free voting and we need a representative(s) that support the University of Wisconsin-Madision.

Cultural or Historical Interests
Rural people have to be more self supporting with no public transportation or close support. All rural people are my neighbors.
Community Activities and Services
Community interest is rural. In the past Dane County Gerrymandered by reaching out from big cities and taking in smaller Towns. Rural people live out here because we do not like cities. We like and work with other rural people.
Community Needs and Concerns
My community understands farming and the needs of farming. Only Towns and small Villages care about rural values.

March 11, 2021
Population: 11538
Cultural or Historical Interests
While the neighborhood was traditionally white, working class, it has diversified in recent years to include greater populations of African-Americans, Latinx and Hmong populations. At the same time, blue-collar workers (of all ethnic backgrounds) are recently being replaced with gentrifying professionals of higher income.
Community Activities and Services
Focal points for the neighborhood include Lowell Elementary School, Olbrich Park, Worthington Park, the bike paths, the Atwood Avenue and East Washington Avenue corridors, Woodman's supermarket and the Milwaukee Street Post Office. The Goodman Community Center and the Worthington Park Salvation Army provide a variety of community events and services.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community was historically a blue-collar working class neighborhood. Over the years, the neighborhood has become gentrified, with segments of the population working well paying professional jobs in the public, health care, education and technology sectors. Other portions of the population are in low-wage, service, construction and industrial jobs.
Community Needs and Concerns
We need representatives that can listen to all segments of our community's population, including people at all points along the economic spectrum and both majority and minority racial, ethnic and language groups.
