Do you want to help shape the future of streets downtown? District 2 Alder Will Ochowicz is hosting a public meeting Tuesday to gather input on traffic safety as part of the Downtown Area Plan. Ahead of the meeting, Will joins host Bianca Martin and executive producer Hayley Sperling to discuss how downtown can become safer for pedestrians, bikers, and motorists. Then, we hear from Carol Aspinwall, Executive Director of Period Products Pantry, a new nonprofit which aims to make menstrual products available to all in Madison.
