Seems like a messed up decision to me because of the reasons you mentioned.
When they say DOT has "discussed this with Fitchburg," I wonder 2
things: (1) if the "discussion" was only about taking authority back to
make the decision or whether it was about the substance of the decision,
and (2) with whom in Fitchburg did they "discuss" the decision.
I am trying to learn these things.
Is it legal for WisDOT to give land purchased with state stewardship
funding to a private business for their private parking.
Yes, we'll need to provide comparable land in exchange, but there is an
adjacent MG&E-owned parcel that might fill the bill. The City must be a
willing partner--WisDOT can't force this. However, they can take their
bridge money and go home, I suppose.
*Whether the City is a willing partner depends on the Vote of the
Council. That's where turnout tonight can make a difference.*
I've been adding details to my note on Facebook (WisDOT letter, maps,
etc.). Monitor the situation here:
