The Autumn Ridge Path creates a shared-use path connection between Milwaukee St. and Commercial Ave (north of Highway 30), including a new bridge over Highway 30. The project improves safety and accessibility for non-motorized modes of transportation to cross Highway 30, better connecting neighborhoods on either side of the highway. The Autumn Ridge Path expands the greater bike network of the area, as the path connects (via local streets) to the existing overpass over Stoughton Rd (Highway 51) at Portland Pkwy, through the Eastmorland neighborhood to the recently constructed Garver Path, and finally to the Capital City Trail and Downtown Madison-area. Long term plans include extending this path network further to the northeast. 

Transgender Day of Visibility is a day to celebrate transgender and non-binary people in our Madison community. It's also a day to raise awareness of discrimination and violence members of this community face, especially transgender people who are black, indigenous, or other people of color. As a city, we see you, and we stand with you.

The City of Madison is proud to announce the installation of its first air quality monitor within the community. It's located at the Kennedy Heights Community Center. 64 more monitors will be installed in the next few months. The City's new air quality monitoring network will measure particulate matter concentrations in neighborhoods throughout Madison. Funding for the network was provided by the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection.
