The city of Madison will host two community connect events to highlight recommendations for land use, transportation, and more for its Northeast Area Plan. The city is also seeking community input on physical improvements desired for the Greater Sandburg and Burke Heights neighborhoods.
The first event is Aug. 14 from 5–7 p.m. at Reindahl Park, and the second will take place Aug. 16 from 5–7 p.m. at Sycamore Park. Family-friendly event offerings will include free ice cream and food catered by La Taguara, firetruck tours, therapy animals, games, and face painting.
The Northeast Area Plan addresses land use, transportation, housing, parks, storm water management, economic development, and more. For the project to be successful, equitable, and inclusive, public participation is key.
The Northeast Area Plan is one of the first to use the city’s new planning framework that was approved by the Common Council last summer. The framework covers the entire city with 12 area plan geographies.
Those unable to attend the community connect meetings can still provide feedback on the projects for Sandburg or Burke Heights neighborhoods here.
