@SteenlageJess Hi Jess! Sorry for the late reply. I don’t use Twitter very often🙂 Yes, my staff and I from the City Traffic Engineering team are here to help. Please feel free to email traffic@cityofmadison.com or call 266–4761. Thank you!

@TranspYang I'm an MMSD parent. There is a problematic intersection outside my childrens school. There was an incident today that we are lucky didnt result in any fatalities. I wish to get in touch with someone at the City of Madison to discuss the problem. Is that person you?

Today marks World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2022. We lost 57 lives here in Madison over the last 5 years. Zero is the only acceptable goal and we will never stop working till we achieve our #VisionZero goal.

Vision Zero has hit a wall. How do we overcome this? Cities focus on complete successful projects + integrating safety-focused approaches into policy & planning. @TranspYang: federal support & collaboration is critical. @DavidZipper @NACTO #nacto2022
