Redistricting 2021 - The redrawing of the City of Madison’s wards and alder districts is happening now! Please provide feedback on draft maps at a library near you from September 20-26th.  Watch the recordings of the September 22 Redistricting Informational Meetings here (noon meeting) and here (6pm meeting).

South Madison Plan - The City of Madison will be introducing to the Common Council in the coming months the complete draft of the South Madison Plan. Before that happens, we would like to invite everyone from the South Madison to share their input and help the City complete the vision for the area.
