📝 Roll into bike week
June 3, 2024 · ✏️ Thanks to City Cast editor Bryan M. Vance!
Gooooooooood morning, Madison! And especially good morning to me because it’s my birthday 🥳
I’ve had a blast celebrating with friends, but it’s got me thinking about the fact that as we get older, it can be harder to meet new people and build friendships. So here’s my question for you — how do you make friends in Madison?
Fill out the form below, and I might use your suggestion for an upcoming Madison Minutes article.

What's CITY Talking About?
🍃 Need Mulch?
- The city is offering free wood mulch for residents to pick up at four local parks. Mulch is available at Garner, Demetral, Warner, and Elver parks.

🫖 New Café Coming to The Bur Oak
- The owner of Rude Brew Kombucha (kind of) announced their plans to open a café in The Bur Oak named Lacy’s Café.
- If you’ll recall, Rude Brew moved into the East side spot after Ahan moved on to a bigger space on Willy Street. [Instagram, City Cast Madison 🎧]
⛔ Speed Limit Changes on the Horizon
- As part of the city’s Vision Zero effort, speed limits on various streets around town will be lowered this month. Some changes will take place on Zeier, Thierer, and Lien roads, which will all be reduced from 35 to 30 mph. You can see the full list of affected streets here.
- Dig deeper: What’s Vision Zero anyway? Start here. [City of Madison, Madison Minutes]
