GTNA Tool Share Program for GTNA Members

The Tool Share program is a way to connect neighbors who have a need for certain tools with those who have those tools. How does it work? Many of your neighbors have signed up and listed tools they’re willing to lend out. Whenever another neighbor has a need for a tool, they can fill out a request form. The request gets sent to all the lenders so they can get in contact and coordinate lending out their tool.

It has been great to see neighbors making those connections and helping each other!

FOR MORE INFORMATION, go to: GTNA Tool Share Project
TO OFFER TOOLS, go to: GTNA Tool Share - Lend (sign up by Oct. 31, 2026)
TO REQUEST TOOLS, go to: GTNA Tool Share - Request

Schroeder Road Traffic Safety Meeting Follow Up

About 40 people attended a meeting about Schroeder Road traffic and safety held on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at the Meadowridge Library Community room.

Two members of the City Traffic Engineering Division, which is part of the city’s Department of Transportation, gave a presentation outlining Madison’s Vision Zero program, steps that have been taken to implement the program, progress made on making streets safer with an emphasis on work that has been done on Schroeder Road.

They also outlined an upcoming project focusing on improving Schroeder Road safety using funds from a Federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant.

The project will kick off in Fall 2026 and will include public engagement for feedback. No dates have been established for the steps involved, but the project is scheduled to be completed in July 2029.

View the <PowerPoint presentation> here.

It was a good civil meeting on an impactful topic. Attendees asked some very pointed questions and made other strong statements indicating their frustration with the Schroeder Road situation. Comments were made about: traffic volume; lack of traffic enforcement; previous unheeded warnings about additional traffic on Schroeder Road from new development; and a feeling that the city is not looking holistically at the traffic flow from businesses, schools, apartments, etc. in the overall Schroeder Road area.
We will keep you posted as more information on public engagement for this project becomes available.
