As a member of the early 00’s migration to Madison, I can tell you: this small town is looking more and more like a bigger city. Traffic is one example. It’s worse now than when I moved here three years ago. Madison.com has a Wisconsin State Journal article (full text) about the Wisconsin DOT’s new Madison WI Area Congestion Map. You can also view a freeway congestion map for Milwaukee WI and a freeway congestion map for Chicago IL.
Although… do ya really need a map to tell you that I-90/94 from the Illinois-Wisconsin border west is going to be moving slow every Friday from now until school starts in fall?
This wins the award for “Coolest picture of Milwaukee, WI” for today:
