Warner Park, home of the Madison Mallards, is no stranger to Wisconsin-themed food. On game days, fans can grab everything  from cheese curds to hand-scooped ice cream, and wash it all down with an icy local brew.

But the ballpark will soon be including even more locally sourced foods. Wednesday’s Opening Day game against the Battle Creek Bombers will introduce The Farmer’s Market Sandwich Stand, which boasts the slogan, “100% Local. 100% Ballpark.”

"We challenge ourselves each year to bring something new to the park and we felt like one of the things everyone in Madison connects with in the summer is the farmers' markets," said Director of Food and Beverage, Brian Sather.

The city's plan to improve and increase biking and walking opportunities will be discussed at an upcoming Madison Pedestrian/Bicycle/Motor Vehicle Commission public hearing.

The meeting is designed to gather comments on potential pedestrian and bicycle projects the city should consider undertaking in the 2013-2015 Capital Budget.

The intent of the public hearing is to hear suggestions for new projects.

Please note that concerns about routine maintenance and operational issues can be directed to the appropriate agency or the city’s Report-a-Problem website www.cityofmadison.com/reportaproblem.

The hearing will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 22, in Room 260 of the Madison Municipal Building at 215 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
