East-West Bus Rapid Transit Survey

The City of Madison is exploring options for a new East-West Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line to make the transit system work faster and smarter.

BRT uses dedicated lanes where feasible and modern stations to provide fast and cost-efficient service to jobs, entertainment, and schools. Madison's BRT will complement existing Madison Metro routes and be the city's next big step toward a sustainable local transit system.

While the initial route is only in Madison, the benefits extend well beyond the route terminal and the city due to potential connections and eventual extensions. It is the longer trips for which BRT provides the biggest benefit due to the time savings that make transit more competitive with driving.

Holiday Trash and Recycling

The holidays are a time for giving, but they can also generate a lot of extra waste. While it’s always better to try to reduce the amount of waste we create, having extra after the holidays is almost inevitable. Below are some guidelines on how to deal with those items.

The following seasonal items can be placed in your blue Pellitteri Recycling cart:

• Gift boxes
• Wrapping and tissue paper (NOT the foil-type)
• Cardboard wrapping paper tubes 
• Paper greeting cards (NO photo paper please) and gift tags
• Envelopes
• Cardboard (flatten, cut down to 4’ x 4’ sections or smaller)

Other items that can be recycled elsewhere:

• Christmas trees – will be picked up by the Village (does not pertain to private streets) 
• Christmas lights and electrical cords – drop off at Waunakee Neighborhood Connection - 208 S. Century Avenue
• Styrofoam – #6 polystyrene (NO packing peanuts) can be dropped off at Uniek, Inc. in Waunakee - 805 Uniek Drive

Did You Know?  Additional recycling can be placed in a clear garbage bag (available at Ace Hardware) and placed next to your blue recycling cart. Pellitteri will pick this up at no charge with your regular recycling.

Special trash tags can be purchased for extra garbage that doesn’t fit in your brown trash cart. The tags are $15 for a sheet of 5 and are available at Village Hall - 500 West Main Street.

Village Seeks Input on Downtown Parking

The Village of Waunakee is in the process of completing a downtown parking study. The study is to provide data on the current and future parking needs in the downtown. The final report will provide information about the capacity and use of existing parking facilities in the downtown. As part of the process we are seeking input from the public and business owners. The survey is intended to create opportunities to hear from people who park downtown, understand business parking needs, and develop parking strategies that support community goals for economic development, housing, and transportation in our downtown. The survey has 8 questions and 1 comment column which takes about 2-5 minutes to finish. Your feedback is important and will be included in our analysis. The survey can be accessed through the link below and will be accepted until November 30, 2018.

Barrels on Parade

In collaboration with Abby Wilson Painting, Endres Manufacturing, and Springfield Welding and Manufacturing , the 2018 Village of Waunakee’s Public Art Project highlights historic Waunakee, Downtown Madison, and the University of Wisconsin. Local artist, Abby Wilson was commissioned and designed artistic metal renderings that have been affixed to ten wooden barrels. Springfield Welding and Manufacturing, in partnership with Endres Manufacturing, assisted in translating the designs to metal, rolling and rendering the plates, and attaching the plates to the barrels. Each of the three designs will be featured on 3 of the barrels with one special barrel, stained red, signed with University of Wisconsin Athletic Coaches. 

Barrels are on display throughout the community in mostly high traffic locations including the Village Center, the Waunakee Public Library, Rex’s Inkeeper, Lone Girl, and Village Hall. If you have an interest in purchasing a barrel for your home or business, please contact Adam Bentley, Assistant Village Administrator at abentley@waunakee.com or at 608-850-2182. Proceeds raised by barrel sales will go to the Endres Manufacturing Company Foundation, and to the Village of Waunakee, in its continued support of similar artistic endeavors. The Village sincerely appreciates the work of all our partners on this project, many of which donated their time, talents, and labor in ensuring this project was successful.
