MADISON - The state Department
of Transportation has a $12 million plan for a passenger
rail station in Madison.
The DOT unveiled its project
design Tuesday evening for the station that will be located
next to Monona Terrace.
State and local officials are
still negotiating a cost-sharing arrangement for the
station. DOT spokesman Paul Trombino says the state would
own and operate the station.
The state budgeted $24
million to build stations along the rail line from Madison
to Milwaukee. The State Journal says that includes $9
million for Madison and $5 million each for Watertown,
Oconomowoc and Brookfield. Plans for the Oconomowoc station
have since been dropped.
