Letter from Lakeside Fibers asking for BCNA support for a rezoning request.
Motion to invite Susan Vandewalle, owner of Lakeside Fibers, to talk at April or a future meeting. To explain plans for building an addition to the Lakeside Fibers building at 402 W. Lakeside Street, and possible future residential development at 404 W. Lakeside Street. Seconded. Passed.
Steve Davis provided information about the Metro Transit Enhancement Grant. Preferred request was for a bus shelter at Olin and So. Park. A shelter won’t fit there, so Madison Metro is offering a seat/bench plus a bike rack. The bike rack can go wherever the neighborhood wants it placed. Need to let the City know where. Give suggestions of where to place the bike rack to Candace.

Ongoing projects. Nothing new to add from what has been reported at earlier meetings.
Brainstorming session (led
by Ben Kadel)
The brainstorming exercise resulted in a list of events and projects that are most important to the neighborhood to keep doing or to start. An event happens periodically - annually, monthly, or every so often. A project is an ongoing venture.
Top-voted events are the neighborhood yard sale, proposed drive-by art show, and candidate forums. There was also interest in having more social events. Top-voted projects are a proposed neighborhood directory, the bi-monthly newsletter (Bay Creek Bulletin), and traffic calming.
We will pursue these brainstorming ideas more at
April’s meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
Facilitator for next meeting: Jim Winkle.
