District 13 Updates: Survey Deadline on Vilas Park Master Plan, South Park Corridor

Hi Everyone,

In case you haven’t heard, we postponed taking up Edgewood’s appeal last night at Council due to the late hour, referring the matter to our next meeting on January 5th.  We hope to schedule a special meeting before then given the large number of registrants and the lengthy time it will take to get through the public hearing. As soon as I know more details, I’ll post it here.

Meanwhile, here are some D13 items of interest.

South Park Corridor and Urban Gentrification

Justice Castaneda, Executive Director of Commonwealth Development, has been teaching a graduate level seminar for Master’s students in Urban & Regional Planning at UW.  As part of the course requirements, students (in groups) are required to complete neighborhood analyses of the potential for gentrification.  

One of the groups picked the 6 census tracks in the South Park Street Corridor from Haywood Dr (north), Beltline (south), L. Monona (east) and Fish Hatchery (west) as their focus of analysis.  

This group will be presenting (~20 - 25 mins) on Thursday, December 3rd at 4:35pm.
