STATE STREET
The street was a conventional four-lane undivided road until 1974, when a proposal was passed by the City of Madison to turn it into a pedestrian mall.
Construction on that project began in late June, 1974, with an initial estimated completion budget of $15 million. This
conversion left the street as a two-lane limited-access road, with extra-wide sidewalks created on both sides of the now-narrower street.
