Reenvisioning The Triangle in downtown Madison WI

Google Maps

Wisconsin State Journal, 7/5/2021

The roughly 26-acre Triangle bounded by South Park and Regent streets and West Washington Avenue was once the core of the low-income, multiethnic Greenbush neighborhood razed amid national urban renewal efforts in the 1960s. 

Today, the Triangle includes about 340 housing units at five sites and a small Asian grocery store on 10.5 acres owned by the CDA; housing and community center owned by the nonprofit Bayview Foundation, formed in 1966 to support culturally diverse, low-income families, many of them immigrant refugees from Southeast Asia; a UW Health clinic; and Select Specialty Hospital.
