North Street Neighborhood Secretary events, transportation committee

Join NSNA on Wed, June 3rd for Madison Bike Week

Celebrate living in a Platinum-level bike friendly city and join your neighbors at two North Street Neighborhood Association events on Wednesday, June 3rd during this year’s Madison Bike Week!

Wednesday morning, the Transportation Committee will be helping you fuel up for the day at Emerson East Park, on the corner of 2nd Street and Johnson. Come by, say hi, and enjoy coffee from Moka and pastries from Bloom Bake Shop from 7 AM to 10 AM.

Not a morning person? Then at 6:30 PM, join us for a family friendly bike ride. Emerson East riders will meet on the bike path on 4th Street behind El Sabor, and Eken Park bikers will meet outside the North Street Caberet. The two groups will meet where Hoard Street hits the Starkweather Creek path, and together we will take the Capital City Trail to Ohio Street. There, enjoy ice cream at Chocolate Shoppe with a free waffle cone upgrade or beers and bingo at the Ohio Tavern. Everyone will depart on their own.

North Street Neighborhood Secretary Greenspace

Earth Day Cleanup Saturday 4/25

Has the recent weather made you yearn even harder for summer in Madison? Do you want a way to enjoy the outdoors with friends and neighbors soon? Invest in future enjoyment in the sun for the entire neighborhood this Saturday, April 25th, for the NSNA Earth Day Neighborhood Cleanup!

Hosted by our Greenspace Committee, the Earth Day Neighborhood Cleanup is our part in a city-wide effort to take care of our public spaces by picking up trash. From 10 AM to noon on Saturday, swing by the butterfly gardens on the corner of North and Commercial to pick up supplies and help prepare our parks for their summer glow-up. Cafe Domestique has graciously donated the most important supply in getting work done, aka coffee, so bring your reusable mug to fuel up before you head out.

If you’re going to spend time at Demetral Park, the City of Madison has an Earth Day Challenge to see how many people volunteered. Get your work counted and submit photos to show off how great our parks can look.

For more details about our Greenspace Committee, check out their recent newsletter or the Greenspace Committee page.
