MADISON METRO “RETURN TO NORMAL SERVICE PLAN”

Return to Normal Service Plan

With the county’s Forward Dane reopening plan expected to remain at Phase 2 for a number of weeks, Metro’s riding rules will likely remain in place for several weeks.

Let us know about trips you can’t make due to reduced service or capacity rules.

As the reopening plan progresses, Metro will continue to work with the City of Madison, the Madison Dane County Public Health Department, the Madison Transportation Commission, Madison alders, the Teamsters Union, and service partners to safely make incremental progress towards more normalized service operations.

A general plan on moving forward is outlined here.

Service Schedules
Metro plans to return to a more normal type of service this fall. However, due to budget and staffing restrictions, service is only expected to return to 85% of the service level that was operated prior to COVID-19.

Staff presented a general plan to the Transportation Commission on June 24, which included a map of select peak-hour route segments that will not resume in the fall.

More detailed information will be presented at the Transportation Commission meeting on Wednesday, July 22 at 5 p.m.

CITY HOUSING CZAR IS BACK?

I thought they eliminated this position??

Mayor, Alders, and Colleagues-

I am pleased to announce that Dan Johns will become the City’s next Housing Development Specialist.  Dan has been with Vandewalle & Associates for the past seven years, where he has worked on a variety of redevelopment projects throughout the Midwest.  Dan’s combination of financial analysis and project management experience will greatly assist our efforts to redevelop City-owned housing while working to foster greater collaboration with the real estate community to increase our much needed supply of privately developed housing.  Dan earned a Master of Urban and Regional Planning degree at the University of Michigan following undergraduate work at the same.  Dan will start work with the City on Monday, August 3rd.

The Housing Development Specialist position has been vacant for several years and was previously held by Matt Wachter.  This is a Community Development Authority position; however, Dan will be located within the Office of Real Estate Services of the Economic Development Division.

Please join me in welcoming Dan to the City!

Matthew B. Mikolajewski – Director, Economic Development Division

Madison Fire:

The COVID-19 pandemic put a pause on public fireworks displays this year, but the Madison Fire Department reminds the public not to take a “do it yourself” approach to the Fourth of July.

Fireworks pose a dangerous risk, from accidental fires to serious injury, for people who use them. In 2018, fireworks started an estimated 19,500 fires, including nearly 2,000 structure fires, and sent an estimated 9,100 people to emergency rooms. Half of those fireworks-related injuries were to the extremities and 34% were to the eye or other parts of the head*.

Until we can enjoy professional fireworks shows again, the public is encouraged to find other ways to commemorate the Fourth of July.

Data Notes for the Week of June 29

We just released our latest Data Snapshot and posted a blog post that includes:

  • Community Test Site Remains Busy
  • Highlights from the Data Snapshot

In the news today:

DANE COUNTY OFFICE OF EQUITY AND INCLUSION CCOVID-19 UPDATES

Here is your COVID and other briefing for this week.  Have a great day.

Emergency Management.

  • Flash flood warning out for Dane County.  It is a high level warning.  Don’t drive through flooded roads and take care when driving.

Briefing From Public Health Madison and Dane County

  • Were in a different place than a week ago Monday.  There is a concern.  If you not looking at dashboard, you should.  There are new graphics.
  • The percent positives have gone up.  So, there is a spike in cases.  The spike is due to something other testing.
  • The present daily rate is 7.1%.
  • As a result of the spike there is a dial back in Phase 2.  If a need to dial back further they will do but will not do this lightly.
  • Protest –  Seem to be rare that positive results are linked to protesting activities.
  • Disparity in the number of cases for person in Black community and Latinx community.  It is higher than predicted.  The communities make up 6% of population but are making up 15% of positive cases.  Public Health are not sure why.  But knows that persons in  the communities are less financial security may be person that work in essential jobs and are not able to work from home.
  • Actively monitoring data to determine when to dial back measures.     Looking at State website on COVID activity around the State you can see burden by region and Dane County is high right now.
  • In addition to orders, moving into more stringent enforcement.  Have been doing voluntarily compliance and education.  Stringent enforcement is a three step process: 1st education.  2nd. Repeat education and issue a strongly worded letter from city attorney or Dane Corp Counsel, and 3rd  issue citation.  Today will be issuing the first 3 citation to business that are not complying.
  • Community testing at Alliant energy.  An increase in test.  Before it was  200 to 300 per day  now it is upwards of  1500.  Looking to increase capacity at Alliant.  Went from 3 lanes to 6 lanes to provide service.  The National Guard has help and looking to implement electronic records later this week.  Best place to go for a test if asymptomatic is to Alliant.  Employers may want to talk to health care providers.
  • Staff working with schools for a plan for schools in the fall.  Hopeful to provide some type of guidelines around July 6.
  • Food Security – Senior meal programs return to daily delivery in most communities on July 5.

o   Most school programs that assisted with meals  have ended and aware of need.

  • Travel restrictions – there are none.  Restriction may be what employers have imposed for their staff.  Other states are putting on restrictions to limit spread.  Please not if you are traveling, and going to place more intense outbreak the risk increases for you and you may bring it back.  Remember to wash hands, don’t touch mouth, face and eyes, social distance…etc.
  • Mask in Public – there is a large benefit to it.  It is important to note masks are not a perfect solution for protection of spread.  However, any incremental reduction of risk is a good thing.
  • Mandatory – there is value in wearing a mask.  There may be health reasons for a person not to like a person has asthma.  There is also racial implication – persons being viewed as doing criminal activity and have law enforcement called on them. There may be unintended consequences associated with mandatory masks –like a person losing a job.  Putting a law in place you must know what it takes to enforce it.  Giving tickets  may have financial burden for persons with low income.    Municipalities that do this should consult legal from the start.

QUESTIONS

Potential for bumping back to Phase 1:

o   The possibility is always there.  May need to tighten restriction to manage risk.  Not something that PH will take lightly  if it has to be done.  Will be watching data.  County will not be moving to Phase 3 at this time.  To move to Phase 3 –  all metric indicators must be green and yellow.

Citations being issued – Will the citation being made public?

o   This is still being discussed.  The department has not been keen on shaming into compliance.  The department relies on good relations with business and public.  This could have a negative impact.  Hopefully an answer by the end of the day.

Electronic system at Alliant provide more detail?

o   Up to now it has been a paper document.  Looking at using tablets or other devices to record information for efficiency purposes.

Are Asymptomatic only going to Alliant Energy?

o   No healthcare providers are doing it but many are going to Alliant.

Guidance for schools:  Can they be issued before July 6 ?

o   Unsure but will send to the question to persons working on it.  The desire is to have info out ASAP.

Guidelines for moving backwards – are there any?

o   Yes , but they are not public and are in the development process.  Want information is nailed down properly.  The first metric to help to determine whether to  roll back is the actively level of the COVID 19.  The second metric include the hospital system and working on a quantitative measure to determine whether to dial back.

NOTE.

  • Follow up to come shortly
  • Next Briefing Monday , July 6, 2020
