AGMV: A WINNING INITIATIVE
|
AGMV received an
APA-WI Chapter Award in Planning Excellence at the
Upper Midwest Planning Conference this month. AGMV was recognized in the Best Practice category, which emphasizes results and how innovative planning practices help create better, more resilient communities.

Did you know that more than 50% of phosphorus in urban stormwater can come from leaves in the street? When it rains, stormwater flows through leaf piles in streets creating a phosphorus rich “leaf tea” that travels through storm drains to our lakes. The excess phosphorus leads to toxic algae blooms, low oxygen levels and green murky water in our lakes.
The good news: there are lots of
things you can do to help keep streets leaf-free, like signing up for alerts that remind you to rake before it rains.

Wisconsinites are seeing increasing salt levels in our lakes, streams and drinking water. These increased levels threaten our fisheries, tourism, economy, quality of life, and the health of our waters. Fall is the perfect time to refresh our winter salt management knowledge before the snow and ice arrive.
WI Salt Wise is a coalition of organizations from across Dane County working together to reduce salt pollution in our lakes, streams, and drinking water.

DANE URBAN SERVICE AREA
AMENDMENT
|
Planning done well brings together different perspectives and interests to find solutions for mutual benefit and the common good. The
Village of Dane's recent application to amend the Dane Urban Service Area offered
CARPC staff just such an opportunity, in this case to balance residential growth, regional water quality, and agricultural production.

SEWER SERVICE AREA PLANNING BY THE NUMBERS
|
If you were to walk through our front door today, you would be in for a surprise. After roughly twelve years in the City-County Building,
CARPC is moving to a new location at 100 State Street. The stacks of old maps and reports all around our office cover over a half century of planning. Sifting through these documents has been quite the history lesson. As it turns out, a number of milestones are aligning for our office and for planning this year.
