DCP Alum Success Story
While Julie Murphy Agnew, M.Arch 2015, was a graduate student at DCP, her master research project focused on Madison, Wisconsin’s efforts to achieve the League of American Bicyclists' Bicycle Friendly Community Platinum recognition. She conducted interviews with individuals who represented the City of Madison, the bike industry, the Wisconsin Bike Fed and other advocacy groups, UW-Madison and the League of American Bicyclists last summer.
On November 16, the League of American Bicyclists announced 55 new and renewing Bicycle Friendly Communities. Madison became the 5th community in the United States to be designated as Platinum.
"It was a long time coming and a recognition that should be celebrated," Agnew said. "However, in Madison's case, bicycling is part of its DNA; there is no end to a strong bicycle-friendly community even after an award is given. The concept needs to be enduring and sustainable with continuous improvements like any other organization."
