Community Information

transportation housing voting rights diversity affordable

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.

Many people in my community are white and skew on the younger side (25-34).

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.

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.
