MADISON — The state Department of Transportation has a $12 million plan for a passenger rail station in Madison.
The DOT unveiled its project design Tuesday evening for the station that will be located next to Monona Terrace.
State and local officials are still negotiating a cost-sharing arrangement for the station. DOT spokesman Paul Trombino says the state would own and operate the station.
The state budgeted $24 million to build stations along the rail line from Madison to Milwaukee. The State Journal says that includes $9 million for Madison and $5 million each for Watertown, Oconomowoc and Brookfield. Plans for the Oconomowoc station have since been dropped.
