Pedestrians, parking take priority in Regent Street redesign

Regent Street is on track to get a major redesign, in a bid to alleviate the traffic and pedestrian problems that plague the near west side thoroughfare. Early plans currently making their way through the approval process include widening the sidewalks and reducing the roadway to two travel lanes. The subject of resident pushback: new bike lanes didn’t make the cut. To find out how they prioritized competing interests on the street, our News Producer Faye Parks sat down with Tom Mohr, Madison’s assistant director of Traffic Engineering.
