There have been a couple of announcements about the public meeting September 5, which I hope many folks will attend. But here's a good article about the many and complex issues that are being considered by the study:

Maybe more like little parks instead of just overpasses. Madison's South Capitol District Planning Committee will host a public meeting on preliminary concepts for transportation changes for an area bounded by Lake Monona, Wilson, Bedford and Blair streets. 6 to 9 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 5.
