MADISON, Wis. — An alcohol density resolution that was introduced last fall is now a proposed ordinance making its way through Madison committees with new amendments.
The ordinance would limit the number of liquor licenses in downtown Madison. The Madison Public Safety Board discussed the ordinance on Tuesday night.
The liquor license density ordinance is designed only for new establishments where alcohol would be the No. 1 product.
“What we’re looking at restricting here are stand-alone bars. So, places where the focus is on selling alcohol,” said Joel Plant, alcohol policy coordinator for the city of Madison.
