Project - What is it all about?

In fall 2019, the City of Madison will begin working on an update to a portion of the 2005 South Madison Neighborhood Plan. This is a 10-15 year look into how we shape the future – we'll work on issues that are relevant to the community, determine how best to achieve them, and figure out how to move forward.

What's different from the 2005 South Madison Plan?

This is a big one – the city will be welcoming the Town of Madison into its municipal boundaries on October 31, 2022. That breaks down to 2500 persons and 6000 parcels. This plan will work with the Town of Madison government and its residents, businesses, and property-owners to plan for its integration into the City.

What else is interesting about this project?

An inventory and transition plan for the Town of Madison
A market study to help to determine viable businesses
A brownfield assessment and grants for assessment, site investigation, and remedial action planning
Concepts for The Village on Park (aka The Villager Mall)

If I get involved, what could happen?

Your involvement will shape what happens in the future. It might take some time to put the pieces together but your investment in the community does matter. Community voices from the last neighborhood plan paved the way for:

The acquisition of The Villager Mall and subsequent upgrade to the commercial space and the construction of Access, South Madison Library, and Urban League.
Making Lincoln Elementary safer by relocating the bus boarding off of Cypress Way to the parking lot, and installing pedestrian islands and sidewalks on Cypress Way.
Installation of the first splash park in Madison that provided easy access to a recreational water activity within a residential, walkable neighborhood.
The construction of Burr Oaks Senior Housing provided affordable, close to bus routes, and easy access to shopping and services for low income seniors that resulted from the sale of and financial assistance from the City/CDA.
A safer way to move through the south side occurred with new signalized intersections at Buick Street, Hughes Place, and Wingra Drive (at Fish Hatchery), new sidewalks leading to Goodman swimming pool, and a safer pedestrian access under the viaduct near Quann Garden.
Stabilizing the single family areas in Bram's Addition, Burr Oaks, and Capital View neighborhoods by coordinating a massive downzoning of residential areas to retain single family use.
