Your Hot Takes on the Willy Street Experiment
from City Cast Madison · host City Cast
Earlier this year, a vehicle crashed into Mother Fool’s Coffeehouse. Again. This is the third time that the coffee shop has been hit. Mother Fool’s is among several businesses on Williamson Street that have been damaged in automobile crashes. In an attempt to curb accidents and slow down drivers, the city is experimenting with closing down the rush-hour traffic lanes on Willy. Today, host Bianca Martin talks about this change with Mike Tarby, co-chair of the Marquette Neighborhood Association Transportation and Safety Committee. Plus, we hear from listeners about what they think of the lane closures. 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode? Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email [email protected].
