Signature: Menomonie High School Print Name: Menomonie High School Affiliation with Applicant (if applicable): School Student Council Date: 8/13/26 MEMORANDUM David Schofield, Director of Public Works dschofield@menomonie-wi.gov 715-232-2221 Ext.1020 1 TO: Mayor Crowe & City Council FROM: David Schofield, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Mayoral Appointments to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee DATE: September 8, 2026 City Council Meeting The City received several applications for Mayoral Appointment to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Chairperson David Williams and I recommended appointment of Emi Stuemke and Nicole Hayes and Mayor Crowe concurred. Emi’s and Nicole’s correspondence of interest is provided below. If the City Council concurs, the appropriate motion would be Approve the Mayoral Appointments of Emi Stuemke and Nicole Hayes to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee (simple majority). Nicole Hayes: Hi Megen, I'm not sure who to contact so I thought I would start with you! I noticed that there is a vacancy on the bicycle/pedestrian advisory committee and the notice got me thinking about volunteer opportunities with the city. I do a fair amount of biking and walking for fun and commuting and I would like help keep Menomonie a biking/walking friendly community. Does the committee or city advertise volunteer opportunities? I am camping during the Menomin Meander this year or I would join! Thanks for your insights!! Nicole Emi Stuemke: Dear David Schofield, Andrew Hagen mentioned to me that there is currently an opening on the Bicycle / Pedestrian Advisory Committee and encouraged me to contact you. Monica Berrier has MEMORANDUM David Schofield, Director of Public Works dschofield@menomonie-wi.gov 715-232-2221 Ext.1020 2 encouraged me to pursue it as well. After looking at the committee materials, I saw that the City is particularly interested in finding someone who can bring a stronger pedestrian and accessibility perspective. I would very much like to be considered. I have lived in Menomonie and worked at UW–Stout for eleven years without having a driver’s license, so I experience the city’s transportation infrastructure primarily as a pedestrian, bicyclist, and transit user. For much of the past eight years, medical conditions and related injuries have also required me to navigate the city using a walker or cane. As a result, I have substantial firsthand experience with the limitations, pain points, and opportunities for improvement in getting around Menomonie without a car. I’m particularly interested in how pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and accessibility concerns fit together as parts of one transportation network. As a Professor of Technical and Professional Communication at UW–Stout, accessibility and usability are significant parts of my teaching and work. Much of my research focuses on how systems and designed environments function for different users and how we can identify practical ways to improve them. I care a great deal about making Menomonie easier and safer to navigate for people who do not or cannot depend on a car. I’d be very interested in serving on the committee and would be happy to talk with you about the opening and what the City is looking for.
