1997 MONONA TERRACE1909 A MODEL CITY, JOHN NOLEN'S PLAN

1930 - 1950s THE SEGOE PLAN & THE CREATION OF LAW PARK

• Jame Doty’s original plan for the City of Madison.

• Located the capitol centrally on the highest hill.

• Established the City grid.

• Public space was not reserved along the Lakes, but rather parceled for a working waterfront.

• For thousands of years, the Isthmus and Four Lakes Region has been home to Native Americans.

• The culture and history of the first people of Madison should inform the future narrative, uses, forms of Law Park.

• In 2019, (8) Frank Lloyd Wright buildings were inscribed as World Heritage properties. Only (23) other World Heritage properties are located in the US.

• All downtown plans since the 1960’s have called for a strong Wright design inspiration and most call for the construction of his unbuilt work: Monona Terrace and boathouse (unbuilt)

• Perpetuates Wright’s aesthetic legacy for the Monona Waterfront.

• Accommodates Madison’s growing need for cultural, social and recreational resources.

• The plan was seen as an opportunity to further develop a downtown bus transit system.

• Peterson’s vision for Law Park connects to the east side of the Monona Terrace bridging over John Nolen Drive with an urban park.

• The vision includes an urban skate rink, Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired Boathouse and transient docks for boaters.

• The Design Professionals Vision for Law Park includes an expanded Monona Terrace with a roof top park and adjacent park space that decks over John Nolen Drive.

• Separate Garden Rooms have the potential to attract community sponsors.

• The Nolen Centennial Plan focuses on improving pedestrian connections between Olin Park and the Alliant Energy Center to Downtown.

• The vision includes a land bridge from Alliant Energy Center to Olin Park.

• Celebrate the Lakes • Beautification from

Olin-Turville Park to Blair Street should occur with overlooks, access to water, vegetation, and public art.

• The first phase of the Monona Basin Plan was realized in the Wright-designed Monona Terrace Construction.

• Provides roof-deck access to the lake from downtown and a bike elevator to the Capitol City Trail.

• The Monona Terrace bisected Law Park into its two halves today.

• Nolen felt parks were central to improving city life.

• Advocated for the conservation of nature and natural areas.

• Focused on creating hierarchy of public space.

• First plan to establish a connection the Capitol and Lake Monona.

• The first plan to include information on the racial and ethnic make-up of Madison.

• The plan called for the filling of the Monona Causeway and creation of Law Park.
