Obama visit poses plenty of logistical problems

Just steps from Memorial Union and State Street, Library Mall is an idyllic backdrop for President Barack Obama?s campus rally on Tuesday. But it could also pose logistical and security challenges.With some campus streets already closed due to construction, including Observatory Drive, and more closed for the event, expect gridlock in the UW-Madison area on Tuesday. The program is scheduled to begin at rush hour, 4:45 p.m. Doors open at 3:30 p.m.
