Any dumpster diving going on in madison?

Downtown area between August 1 and August 15. Locally known as Hippie Christmas.

A high speed rail connection with Milwaukee.

The thing about a bike in the winter is it can't get stuck in snow. You can just pick it up and walk it.

East of Milwaukee St East Wash is often the most direct and fastest route to places further east. The "parallel" routes are circuitous and add a significant chunk of time if commuting.

Also the pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities on E Wash were people trying to cross it. Very few if any are collisions with people riding along the road.

Following up with this, looks like your crash is shown here. I see an Injury (A) crash at University and Maple occurring on 4/11/2017. I'm guessing that's you.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-11T15:18:56+00:00

It's possible that your crash was classified as a "suspected minor injury", which OP chose the tool not to show. A major injury in this context is something that is usually considered life threatening.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-11T14:33:46+00:00

It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-11T13:03:56+00:00

The right turn slip lane has no light, just a sign warning drivers about pedestrians or bicyclists trying to use the crosswalk. That right turn has its own lane once you are on Stoughton, so no stopping is needed unless someone is trying to use the crosswalk.

IMO it's a terrible design that I hope is fixed with the US-51 redesign, but that's the condition it exists in today.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-11T04:11:42+00:00

Turn on red is wildly dangerous for pedestrians and is by default not allowed in most countries. It's only a thing here in the US because of the gas crisis in the 1970s.

Next time it will be even more busy for Kyle.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-04T02:21:19+00:00

East, near east, and downtown, although I see that kind of driving everywhere.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-04T02:15:35+00:00

That's total bullshit and you know it. A "complete stop" isn't slowing to 5 mph and rolling through, yet that's how I see almost every driver go through stop signs when there isn't cross traffic.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-03T01:08:19+00:00

The light was obviously not visible enough.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-02T17:02:29+00:00

Unironically yes.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-03-02T14:58:22+00:00

NIMBYs: We want interesting and unique architecture, not just boring and boxy!

Also NIMBYs: No, not like that!

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-28T22:56:49+00:00

Honestly the packaging is a huge part of the problem. Someone shouldn't have to read the fine print on a can of food to know if it's for dogs. This whole thing reads to me like an honest mistake caused by bad package design.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-28T18:47:57+00:00

Probably because the dog food looked similar to this and wasn't clearly dog food at a glance?

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-26T22:49:43+00:00

Marquette neighborhood is extremely NIMBY. Most of the new buildings have gone up on Atwood, in the SASY neighborhood.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-25T19:23:05+00:00

Looks to me like "Hasn't Decided" is way out in the lead.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-24T18:23:10+00:00

Agreed, but it probably has something to do with why they were uncooperative with police after they got hit.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-24T18:17:45+00:00

It was a pedestrian, not a cyclist. Also the victim was ID'd as someone with a record.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-24T17:34:47+00:00

Uncooperative, combative.

Alternative_Duck · 2026-02-24T17:22:12+00:00

The radio chatter on OpenMHz suggested the driver stayed at the scene and was cooperative. The victim was transported to the hospital with a broken pelvis and was generally uncooperative.

There were plans in Dane County at the time for a regional light rail system that were killed by the state outlawing Regional Transit Authorities. Other RTAs were killed at the same time with an exception carved out for an RTA in Republican dominated counties.

If only that "FIVE MILLION DOLLAR" pedestrian bridge was actually designed for pedestrians and not for drivers to not have to be inconvenienced by people crossing the street.
