Interested in neighborhood history?
Agreed, this is a very special neighborhood, but why?
- Who were the native people living here and those that followed?
- Why did they settle in this particular spot?
- Why are there so many different designs of houses?
- Why was your home built?

It was a cool, crisp Halloween evening, and the Cambridge Woods bike path was illuminated by jack-o-lanterns, guiding a parade of lions, princesses and firemen through the woods to the Urban Ecology Center, where they were met with treats and a blazing warm fire.
The party was given by the CWNA Fun and Games Committee with help from several generous neighbors and the Urban Ecology Center, thank you! If you enjoyed this event and wish to have more events like it, please consider joining Fun and Games by contacting chair Leslie Woodruff at 414.962.2477 or lespaulpax@sbcglobal.net

Traffic circles along with other traffic calming elements have been in place in the Cambridge Woods Neighborhood since 1999. They were first installed as part of regular road reconstruction to help address cut-through traffic and speeds from the two adjacent high volume arterials. Installation of calming elements during regular road construction lessens the fiscal impacts of installation. This brief document is an attempt to respond to some of the frequent concerns and questions that arise concerning traffic circles in the neighborhood and how residents can optimize their existence.

The day couldn’t have been more beautiful. We had thirteen families participating. The Boat House corner of Cambridge and Hampshire was the definate “hotspot” with a grand array of things for sale as well as wonderful hospitality from the neighbors holding the sales. Enjoy a few photos from the day in the picture gallery.

Our last neighborhood rummage was so successful many people have asked if we can do another one. The answer is YES! If we get enough people who have rummage to sell – we will do it!
Working around block parties and such other neighborhood fun, the date has been set for Sunday, September 30th from 9am-3pm. If you are interested in having a sale at your home, please contact me, Leslie Woodruff at 962-2477 as soon as possible.
CWNA will provide signage and put an ad in the Journal Sentinel.
So, mark your calendars:
Rummage

Dear neighbors:
I just want to share my appreciation to all that showed up to the AAA Slow Down Campaign Press Conference this past week. There was a good show of neighbors who came out on very short notice. The 5th District Captain and staff was there along with Alderman D’Amato and Council President Willie Hines, and AAA spokesperson.
Some highlights and suggestions heard:
1. A motorist was ticketed for squealing tires from a stop at Locust and Cambridge just prior to the event.
2. In addition to the recent signing of a Pedestrian Ahead sign, the Stop Bar on the road at the same location was re-stripped.
Other suggestions:
1. Stencil a LOOK sign on the sidewalk on the norhwest corner of Locust & Cambridge.
2. Replace the b&w Yield to Pedestrians sign with newer colored sign.
3. Stripe the perimeter of the (fried-egg) traffic circle at Cambridge and Kenwood so motorist see it.
4. Finish filling and planting the traffic circle at Bartlett & Linnwood.
To conclude, we can set examples to others so….Slow Down, Save Fuel, and Be Safe!
Peter McMullen, CWNA President
