W. Washington St. Gateway
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBAREA
While this area is a primary entrance to Downtown Madison, just a few years prior it was home to vacant structures, obvious blighted conditions, and waning business. Trailor parks and highway commercial uses grew beyond the railroad and displaced traditional single-family residences along primary streets.
Now, the light is visible at the end of the urban rewewal tunnel !! With infrastructure underway (stormwater, parking, and a new road segment) and two pending demolitions, the area is well on its way to being a beautiful gateway to our downtown and a revitalized area with a great mixture of land uses, greenspace, and activity nodes in a two block walk of Madison Town Park.
