Hoyt Park Area Joint Neighborhood Planning Process
The City of Madison Department of Planning & Community & Economic Development is working with the Sunset Hills, Sunset Village, VanChaMasShe Neighborhood Associations, Hilldale Homeowners Association, and interested residents, businesses and stakeholders to develop a 5-10 year plan for the Hoyt Park Area Joint Neighborhood Plan study area. Vandewalle & Associates, a private consulting firm based in Madison, WI, is assisting the City and the community to prepare a plan for this near west side area.

Where are we in the planning process? 
Neighborhood plans are prepared with input from residents, the business community and major stakeholders. Many public input opportunities have been built into the planning process to ensure that we understand the needs and wants of the diverse population living in the Hoyt Park area, including community wide public input sessions, business survey, a resident survey, neighborhood walkabouts, and focus groups. We have received input from many residents during the planning process, with some of the comments differing in what changes to support within the neighborhood.

A draft copy of the neighborhood plan is now available for review. Review the draft and either forward comments to the individuals below and/or attend the upcoming public meeting scheduled for May 30th.
