Transportation Commission: Meeting of June 17, 2026

The City of Madison Wisconsin Transportation Commission held a virtual meeting on June 17, 2026, focusing primarily on the Safe Streets Madison program and several capital improvement projects. The commission reviewed and approved a slate of smaller safety and accessibility projects, including speed limit reductions, installation of rapid rectangular flashing beacons (RRFBs), speed humps, and quick-build flex post installations, with a total estimated cost of approximately $324,500. The commission also discussed the 2026 capital budget allocation of over $1.6 million for the Safe Streets Madison program, with about $533,000 available for new projects after accounting for previously approved but incomplete projects. Additionally, the meeting included informational presentations on the John Nolan Drive Phase Two reconstruction project scheduled for 2028, the Moreland Road shared-use path project funded by federal TAP funds, and the West Town Path Phase Two B project, also federally funded and planned for 2028 construction. The commission addressed public comments regarding pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements, particularly at the Lakeside and John Nolan intersection, and discussed coordination with neighboring jurisdictions for cost-sharing on certain projects. The meeting concluded with the election of Anne Kovich as chair and Chris McHale as vice chair of the commission, and updates on future agenda items including public hearings and policy guide revisions.
