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.

UW Badger Signed Barrel-Silent Auction

With only one Wisconsin Badger Barrels on Parade public art project, the final Badger Barrel will be silent auctioned off at Village Hall in Waunakee from December 3rd until January 4th. All the proceeds go to the Endres Manufacturing Foundation and the Arts in Waunakee. This would be a perfect gift for the fast approaching holidays!

The barrel also includes an LED backlighting set.

To place your bid, please visit Village Hall at 500 W Main Street in Waunakee. Bidding has already commenced with our current bidder set at $700. Whether its stopping into pay taxes or to simply bid on this barrel, please make your way to Village Hall to learn more about this unique piece of art created by local artist, Abby Wilson.

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.
