This is a petition to find people's interest in getting a Madison Metro bus stop built for Alder District 1 within the City of Madison. Depending on interest, one or more bus stops could be placed within District 1 near High Point Road and Midtown Road, which is located on the southwest corner of Madison.

By doing this, it would also enable disabled individuals to be picked up by Metro Paratransit within a 3/4 mile radius of this new bus stop(s). This is especially critical during the winters when the sidewalks and curb ramps are full of snow. Many of the disabled residents of this area are currently outside the boundary map of Metro Paratransit.

If you are not the owner of your residence (non-landlord), you are welcome to sign it, but in addition please forward this petition to your landlord. If you will NOT be riding Madison Metro or Metro Paratransit, you are still welcome to sign it. If you ever have a broken down vehicle, it could benefit you in the future if you do not have a way to car pool.
