Concerns about pedestrian safety helped convince members of Madison’s Public Safety Review Board to vote unanimously to reject making part of Gilman Street near State Street a two-way road temporarily.
The 400 block of West Gilman Street, which includes several residential buildings and commercial businesses such as Amy’s Cafe, Laundry 101 and Yummy Buffet, is currently a one-way street, but the resolution rejected by the panel calls for a pilot project that would test the street as a two-way for 120 days, with an additional traffic light regulating cars turning onto University Avenue.
