Rehabilitation of Madison Avenue is in the design stage. It is scheduled to be constructed in 2012 in two phases: resurfacing of Seventh Street to Victory Drive; and a full roadway reconstruction of Victory Drive to Apache Place. One-lane traffic will allow continued access to businesses. Additional business access is planned from Bassett Drive and Adams Street. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A bus transit lane is planned for the right lane in both directions. A bus rapid transit pickup/drop-off site is planned between Sioux Road and Apache Place. The project also includes construction of a multiuse lighted trail along the south side of Madison Avenue and lighting updates to state aid standards using Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting.
