Outsized Madison Development On Hold As Too Suburban

New Urbanists, environmentalists and others helped shelve this project slated for a major West side intersection.

I've been at that location hundreds of times over the years, and I can tell you that the development's scale and impact would overwhelm the area.

And I understand there were concerns that a project of this size above a Madison well could lead to groundwater contamination problems.

So good for the activists and the city's Urban Design Commission slowing this down, for now.
