VIDEO: Monroe Street is down to one lane in one directions as summer construction gets underway. The work is happening between Odana and Nakoma Road and Regent Street. Despite the narrow road, emergency service providers aren't too worried about the construction because they say they're prepared. Emergency Fire and EMS crews strive to respond in 5 minutes or less, and they're still going to push for that by adjusting which station is going to respond to certain areas. "The crews here at number 4 and the crews at number 9 have done some pre-planning on new routes," said Assistant Chief Clay Christenson of the Madison Fire Department, Station 4. Depending on response times generated by Dane County Public Safety Communications, a station that would usually respond to an emergency may not.
