Draft Plan is Available
Yes! After 18 months of public engagement, the Draft Comprehensive Plan is available for review at the Imagine Madison Website. You can also review a hard copy at any Madison Public Library and the Madison Planning Division offices at 126 South Hamilton Street.
So what does it say? Here’s a short list of the key recommendations from the Plan:
- More housing choices
- Transit Improvements
- Family-Supporting Jobs
- Majority of growth as infill or redevelopment
The ever-popular side-by-side Generalized Future Land Use Map comparison tool has been updated to reflect the Plan Commission’s continued review of the map.
How to Comment on the Plan
As a community, we’ve been working to create this plan, but we’re not done yet. We need your comments to complete this effort. There are several ways to provide comments.
-
Provide your comments through CiviComment. You can also see other reviewers’ comments.
-
Email the Imagine Madison team at imaginemadison@cityofmadison.com
-
Attend the June 4 Plan Commission Comprehensive Plan Public Hearing or any one of the many presentations at various City boards, committees, and commissions. You can see our full schedule of meetings on our Events page.
-
Whatever your preferred method of reviewing and commenting on the plan, please provide your comments before the June 4 Plan Commission meeting.
How Comments will be Reviewed
We’ll receive many comments from the public, as well as from City boards, committees, and commissions. These comments will be reviewed by the Plan Commission, the City body in control of the Comprehensive Plan update. The Plan Commission will make a recommendation to the Madison Common Council. The Common Council will then review and consider adoption of the Plan.
Thank you to the more than 15,000 participants for making Imagine Madison such a valuable process.

Is there an updated draft of the May 1st plan available for public review? Thanks.
Hi Steven,
No there is not an updated version of the May 1st draft Plan. The draft Plan will not be revised until it is through the review process. The Plan Commission will approve it with recommended changes and refer it to the Common Council. The Common Council will suggest revisions as well. Once the Common Council reviews and makes their recommendation, the draft will be updated.
There is a document available which tracks the comments/requested changes received from the public and the City's boards, commissions, and commitees. Please use this link to view the document:

The document first lists the changes/requests that the Plan Commission has recommended should be made. The second part tracks the changes/requests the Plan Commission does not recommend making.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
