Alder report. Alder Matt Phair said that new striping will be placed on Segoe Rd. from Mineral Pt. Rd. to Odana Rd. The striping will be similar to Segoe north of Mineral Pt. with dedicated bike lane and buffer zone. He supports this project. A meeting has been scheduled for 7/13 at 6:30 pm. at the Westfield Church. Redistricting plan is moving forward. All of Midvale Hts. is in the new 10th district. The polling place at Odana Hills will be closed and voters from ward 84 will vote at the MG&E innovation center in Research Park along with voters of the 85th ward. ( It is unclear whether the wards would be combined or renumbered ) Redistricting will go into effect before the next aldermanic election. 5 budget meetings are set up for late July and August. Each meeting will take up a specific topic. Further information including time and place of hearings can be found on the City’s website www.cityofmadison.com .
