Community groups have already brought the neighborhood to the Crowley Station platform by adding seating and making it home to the Crowley Station Community Gardens.
The vision for The Lakefront Porch on Wilson grew from the partnership among Capitol Neighborhoods, Inc., the Madison Water Utility, Madison Parks Division, and Madison Planning Division. Community leaders and neighbors have been actualizing this vision with these citizen and city partners and over 60 community members who contributed their ideas for creating a place for respite and social connection.
