Update: The city replied to the comments I left on the map

You have much of the same concerns I do. I left some comments on the linked map (Share Your Feedback button).

The scale looks correct for me. Do you have a custom dark mode extension enabled?

The timeline is unfortunate, but it'll be so good once it finally happens. I swear, you could take the PurpleLine in the middle of the night on a Sunday and the bus will still be packed halfway through the route. It's crazy popular and definitely needs the upgrade.

Given how the Android app became absolute crap in performance, stability, and respect for system-wide accessibility settings after the switch from the native codebase to the React Native codebase, I am not holding my breath when it comes to what will allegedly be rolled out in the near future.


I'm not sure what you mean. Rule 1 states I can only add context or description to the article title, and I used the convention I've seen on other articles posted here of putting the added parts in brackets. If I did not put Wisconsin and Governor in their spots, the title would be missing all context as to what was happening for readers outside of Wisconsin.

This one is right on the Hank Aaron State Trail and has been fenced off for as long as I can remember.

Nice. Even if the current State Legislature has no love for MCTS (remember the assistance cut during COVID to cancel out the federal emergency assistance?), it'll be good to have the lobbying machine ready to go for when the gerrymander is blown up.

I hope so too. I still mentally expect to see construction when around Water and Wells despite how long it has been finished now.

There have been a lot of UW system cuts lately :S I understand part of it is due to market factors, but I hope the part caused by stagnant state funding doesn't cause too much further damage before it can be fixed in a few years after the gerrymander gets blown up

I'm unhappy with any subsidy for this. There was no will to develop the parking lots around Miller Park for 20 years. If they had gotten developed -- or if the massive pile of money the team owner has access to was simply used -- there would be no justification for getting public money involved outside of any infrastructure improvements needed to support said development.
I forget, was this brought up at all during the discussions about Act 12 before it got passed? The prospect of another subsidy really feels like a bait-and-switch inside a law that already had so much poison inside it.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO

I love how much the 3rd St Market Hall has been popping off.

I think the next thing is to somehow pressure WisDOT into narrowing Capitol Drive before State Trunk Highway 190 is beyond its design lifespan.

Oh cool! I should check that place out sometime!

Things that make you say "Ope"

Nice stuff!

I wish there was more of a focus on zoning changes in the survey. I'll have to look through the available materials and see what the current ideas for that are.
