The OCSA board of directors will be hosting (electronically, via Zoom) our annual membership meeting for 2025 on Monday, January 6th at 6:30pm. The board will summarize actions taken over the last year and plans for the future. All are welcome to attend and share their thoughts. Additionally, elections are held every year for half of the board positions (for 2 year terms, each half being elected on alternate years) – we are looking for additional neighbors who would be willing to assist in managing Oakbridge. Please email secretary@oakbridge.community for a link to the meeting and/or if you’re interested in joining the board! Additionally, at the conclusion of the annual meeting, there will be an administrative session with the newly elected board to designate official positions for the next year and to coordinate preparation of the annual dues letters. As always, all neighbors are welcome to join.

The city of Madison is hosting kick-off meetings for the upcoming Sauk Creek Greenway Corridor Plan on Monday, November 6th (in person at Memorial High) and on Thursday, November 9th (virtual via Zoom), both from 6:30-8:30 pm. Everyone is encouraged to attend/participate, as this is a large project that will certainly impact our extended neighborhood. Both meetings will cover the same information. Advance registration is required for the virtual meeting, as well as requested for the in person meeting to ensure enough tables and chairs are available (there has been immense public interest in this project; you may have even noticed yard signs in adjacent neighborhoods). See https://www.cityofmadison.com/engineering/projects/sauk-creek-greenway for registration links and additional details.
During the meetings, the city will overview the corridor and what we can expect during the corridor planning process, focusing on the three main aspects impacting the corridor—water, land and people. There will be an opportunity to share on our values, how we use the corridor, and our goals for the corridor plan as well as more general Q&A on the corridor plan process.
