Southeast Area Plan

Board/Committee/Commission Check-In Meetings
The project team visited the Transportation Commission, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Committee, Board of Park Commissioners, Plan Commission, and Economic Development Committee to review draft actions, maps, and public feedback. See the Meetings and Events sidebar for presentation slides and video links. The project team will review public feedback and committee feedback on actions to create a final draft plan for introduction at a future Common Council meeting. This page will be updated with the final draft and board/ committee/ commission review schedule when it is known.
Draft Actions and Maps
Online commenting on the draft actions and maps was open from October 17th-December 4th. Though commenting is no longer active, draft Southeast Area Plan actions and maps can still be reviewed. The project team is reviewing comments, making edits, and compiling a final draft of the plan. Updates on the final draft and board/ committee/ commission review process will be announced when the review schedule is known.
Updated Phase 1 Feedback Available
An updated Phase 1 feedback summary is available. The update includes previous comments, plus new comments received through the end of Phase 1 of the project in May via email, additional events, and the interactive commenting map.

Area Plans guide changes that occur over time to the physical aspects of our community, such as land use, housing, transit, streets, bike paths, and other community facilities. They are steered by overarching City policies and feedback from stakeholders.
The Southeast Area is approximately 7,000 acres (10.9 square miles) and is generally bounded by the State Highway 30 to the north, Interstate 90 to the east, City of Monona to the west, and Siggelkow Road / Village of McFarland to the South. See map below. Additional background maps can be found under the Project Resources section.
The City invites residents, community organizations, businesses, and other stakeholders to share feedback about the future of their neighborhoods. Keep up to date on events and ways to participate by subscribing to the email list.
