Plan commission set to vote on Badger Bus depot demolition

Saturday, June 13, 2009

An e-mail from Barbara Smith:

Plan Commission
Public Hearing - 6pm
Monday, June 15th
Madison Municipal Building, Room 201

TOPIC: Badger Bus Depot

Are you concerned about the plans to demolish the Badger Bus Depot without
a workable alternative for inter-city bus service?

The city's Plan Commission will review and vote on the Badger Bus
redevelopment plan on Monday, June 15th. The rezoning of 2 S. Bedford St.
(Badger Bus Depot) is item #8.

The meeting is at 5:30pm in the Madison Municipal Building, Room 201. The
meeting includes a PUBLIC HEARING at 6pm.

Please consider sending an e-mail to Plan Commission members with your thoughts, or showing up at the public hearing Monday with a prepared statement (I think 3 or 5 minutes per person is allowed).

The Plan Commission needs to hear about the public's concern for the lack of transit planning with this redevelopment plan. If the Plan Commission approves the demolition, the City Council votes 7/7 and that's final, is what I understand.
