Madison Council Proposal to Expand Bar Ban near Campus

It is disappointing that only a very small, concentrated area of Madison is being considered for an extended moratorium on new bar licenses. It would not cover restaurants, which are a more common type of alcohol license and in my view, just as problematic. Unless the city takes measures to limit all types of alcohol outlet density in excess of 1 outlet per 400 residents. The number of outlets per resident in Wisconsin is one of the highest rates in the country (1 outlet per 330 residents). Dane county has a relatively high rate of alcohol outlet density (1 outlet per 440 residents). In the Williamson-Marquette neighborhood, where my family lives, there is 1 outlet per approximately 150 residents.
