City Program to Support Small Businesses Underway Posted 12/28/2020

Without a significant influx of federal assistance, many small businesses face the real prospect of permanently closing. As the year comes to a close, Congress passed another aid package which will hopefully aid individuals, businesses and communities in Wisconsin. Read more » -
New Leaf & Yard Waste Pickup Schedule Posted 10/26/2020
For several years, knowing when to set out leaves and yard waste for collection was tricky. You had to consult a color-coded map every day, or call a hotline for collection estimates, and then hope the pickup opportunities coincided with your ability to rake. Things have gotten much better this year. All neighborhoods have assigned days on when they should set their leaves out for collection. Go to https://www.cityofmadison.com/streets/yardWaste/leaf/ Read more » -
2021 Executive Operating Budget Message Posted 10/06/2020
This has been an unprecedented and challenging year. First we were faced with a global pandemic unlike anything we had ever seen before.

We were also challenged anew to address the racial disparities that exist across our country and right here in our community. Read more » -
The Need for Federal Pandemic Relief Posted 07/16/2020

Not My Kind of Tea: Keeping Leaf Tea from Entering Our Lakes Posted 10/28/2019
Anybody who has been to one of my “Meet Your Mayor” coffee shop chats knows that I love a hot cup of tea. But there is one kind of tea I don’t like: leaf tea. Leaf tea is the result of fall leaves mixing with rainwater. The leaves leach phosphorus into the water and the resulting brew travels through our storm sewers and into our lakes. In fact, 50% of the phosphorus that reaches our lakes from urban areas is from leaf tea, and the high phosphorus loads in our lakes can result in toxic algae blooms, low oxygen levels and green murky waters.
