The Downtown Madison Inc. Board (DMI) is not convinced that there is direct correlation between reducing the number of liquor licenses downtown and a safer downtown, DMI President Susan Schmitz said today.
This echoed both Business Improvement District (BID) executive director Mary Carbine’s and DMI Board member Rick Petri’s Dec. 13 comments at a BID-sponsored public hearing on the alcohol density plan that Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and alders Judy Olson and Mike Verveer introduced to the Madison City Council Nov. 29.
