The project is among the first to offer housing and mixed-use in the neighborhood since the city approved the sweeping Odana Area Plan in September 2021.
The $30 million project will replace John Nolen Drive's six causeway bridges from East Lakeside Street to North Shore Drive, which offers postcard vistas of the city's skyline.
After years of rising costs, pauses, counter-proposals and scale-backs, the Dane County Jail project will move forward after a vote by the County Board on Thursday.
