Monona planning commission approves Galloway Companies’ West Broadway mixed‑use plan
Summary
The Monona Planning Commission voted to approve Galloway Companies’ general development plan for a two‑phase, mixed‑use project on West Broadway that would build roughly 669 apartments across 12.5 acres, add about 1.5 acres of public park and realign WPS Drive. Approval was conditioned on final traffic‑impact approvals and related dedications.

Steve, a representative of Galloway Companies, told the commission the plan centers on four buildings around a central park and will be built in two phases. “Phase 1 is the two buildings that are directly in front of you to the east of the park. That’s about 357 units,” he said, adding that the full project proposes 669 units across roughly 12.5 acres and that the park will expand to about 1.5 acres.
Why it matters: the plan would add high‑density housing and retail to West Broadway, realign WPS Drive to improve traffic flow, and create a publicly dedicated park area. Staff said the site sits in a community design district and redevelopment area that will also require consistency review by the CDA and city council if the project proceeds.
