Mayor Demands End to Street Occupation | Madison News

For the fourth straight day, Madison’s mayor is demanding demonstrators clear the intersection at Williamson and Baldwin streets—blocked since Corey Ruiz’s fatal police shooting in July. With tow notices already issued and impending citations, the city warns that vehicles will be impounded if not moved. While officials want to collaborate with the Ruiz family on a memorial, it can’t happen until the streets are free. The mayor urges an end to the occupation, citing harm to businesses, residents, and the unsheltered community, stressing that homelessness requires long-term solutions—not roadblocks. She also clarifies that the city can’t make arrests or press charges, leaving that to the district attorney. The message is clear: dismantle the encampment, clear the streets, and let the city move forward with healing and real solutions.
