Late Summer Madison Roundup


Listen Later

On today’s show, Ali Muldrow hosts a late summer roundup. From the Madison Public Market to the new BRT system and the Madison Night Mares, there’s a lot going on that makes Madison a beautiful place to live. 

We’re joined by Keisha Harrison, the new CEO of the Madison Public Market. Before Keisha came to Madison, she was the executive director of the Indianapolis City Market Corporation where she led activities related to the operation and restoration of the historic city market. In her new role, Keisha says it’s a priority to foster equity through entrepreneurship and make the market vendors representative of Madison as a whole.

Mick Rusch is Metro Transit’s Chief Development Officer, and he says that Metro’s new fast fare technology will create more access for folks with disabilities. Soon, folks will be able to purchase tickets online and won’t have to “make a trip to take a trip,” says Rusch. Find more info at mymetrobus.com/fares. And next spring, you’ll be able to take the BRT to the Madison Public Market.

Last week was the end of the Madison Night Mares inaugural season. Samantha Rubin, the General Manager of the Mallards and Night Mares reports that folks around Madison have embraced the new team. She says that the team is creating opportunities for collegiate women athletes to play and improve their skills over the summer season.
