Summary

The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a resolution designating a segment of Milton Street as American Legion Way to honor the local Legion post's longtime presence and service.

The Board of Public Works and Safety of the City of Madison approved Resolution 2025-23b Monday to name a segment of Milton Street “American Legion Way.”

The resolution, presented to the board by a representative supporting the American Legion, was approved by a motion and second and carried by a voice vote.

During discussion a board member noted the Legion post has been at that location for more than 40 years and that the designation recognizes the organization’s public-service and philanthropic contributions to the community. The mayor and board members agreed the city might pursue a similar designation for the VFW but noted the VFW street is a county road, so coordination with the county would be required.

The formal action was limited to the naming and sign installation on the Milton Street segment identified in the resolution; the transcript does not record additional ceremonial plans or a formal dedication date.
