On Saturday, July 10, the Bay Creek Neighborhood Association is hosting a Visioning Session to create a stronger vision for Lakeside Street and identify strategies that will support and enhance the corridor as a neighborhood business district.

The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Madison Baha’i center located at 324 West Lakeside.

Lakeside Street connects Park Street with John Nolan Drive, just north of Monona Bay in the quaint and historic Bay Creek Neighborhood.

It may be surprising to some, but the area is home to a homeopathic remedy store, a yoga and healing studio, an alternative pet products store, a coffee house featuring organic and regional food, a knitting store and a locally-made jewelry and art store.
