The mile-long corridor of University Avenue between Farley Avenue and Breese Terrace, once the main artery between Downtown, UW-Madison and the West Side, lacks an identity, is uninviting to pedestrians and bicyclists, and has lost businesses since the Campus Drive bypass opened to the north in 1968. The city, residents and others want to transform the street into a green, sustainable place with a strong identity, a ?walkable educational classroom? of best practices that could be a model for older, mixed-use corridors in the city and elsewhere.
