Another bicyclist killed in Dane County

A man in his 20's died this morning after coming into contact with a sport utility vehicle at the intersection of E. Washington and 1st on Madison's near east side.  My thoughts go out to the young man's friends and family.

Madisonians interested in sustainable transportation solutions can give input

The city of Madison, Wisconsin, is looking for input related to public transportation and sustainability.  I personally would like to see more high speed busses on major thoroughfares and fewer neighborhood routes in exchange for increased paratransit options and bicycling.
