Summary
Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway is urging the removal of barricades at the occupied intersection of Williamson and Baldwin Streets, where a fatal police incident involving Corey Ruiz occurred in July. She warns that the ongoing blockade is crippling public transit, emergency response times, and local businesses — causing real, lasting harm. While honoring Corey’s memory through a planned memorial and supporting outreach to unhoused residents, Rhodes-Conway insists Madison must move forward constructively: voluntary removal of barriers is the first step toward healing, dialogue, and building a better future together.
