Public Meetings on the Future of the Brayton Lot

Two public meetings are scheduled to discuss the future of the Brayton Lot (Block 113) downtown. The Brayton Lot is a two-acre surface parking lot situated three blocks from Capitol Square along East Washington Avenue in the First Settlement Neighborhood. The future of this site has been addressed in multiple City adopted plans over nearly 30 years, and plans remain consistent in their vision for the scale and massing of future buildings. Now, the community has an unique opportunity to implement those plans, and two public meetings have been scheduled to learn about that opportunity.

The City is in the process of establishing a Bus Rapid Transit System, and as part of a funding agreement with the Federal Transit Administration, the City must develop the site in a way that supports transit. In late 2023/early 2024 the City expects to issue a request for proposal seeking development partners.

Public engagement has been critical to the planning process, and now the City is inviting you to be part of the implementation. Please join us for an in-person meeting on Tuesday, August 22 at 7:00 p.m. in room 215 of the Madison Municipal Building, 215 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Otherwise, you have the option of participating in a virtual meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, August 23 at noon. You can join the meeting using your computer, smartphone, or tablet, or you can listen in via telephone. You will receive login information after registering at this link.
