ATC cites need for new Madison-area power line despite opposition

The Madison City Council has voted to support a plan that would bury any stretch of the project within the city’s borders, including along the Beltline. Supporters of burying a stretch of the line include businesses along the Beltline and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, which is bisected by the highway. They have founded a group known as the Coalition for Underground Alternatives.
