MADISON, Wis. â The dozens of homeless people living in an encampment at Madisonâs Reindahl Park will be ordered to move by Sunday May 9, according to the city.
This comes after Madison forced evictions to those living at McPike Park earlier this year.
In 2020, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway signed an emergency order that would allow encampments under the proper guidelines. However Saturday, the cityâs Community Development Director Jim OâKeefe said encampments are not the direction Madison wants to head in.
OâKeefe says much of the decision to order an eviction at Reindahl was driven by Madisonâs Parks Department as well as neighbors in the area who wish to use the park again.

O’Keefe says much of the decision to order an eviction at Reindahl was driven by Madison’s Parks Department as well as neighbors in the area who wish to use the park again.
Others, however, say the evictions are not the solution.
“Moving people out of here doesn’t solve any problems,” said Sara Andrews, who says she’s served the homeless community since the fall of 2020. “It just moves the problem to another location and spreads the problem out.”

Talgarth Mill and its bakery (The Bakers’ Table) is due to appear on ITV4 s Made in Britain on Thursday (April 22) at 8pm. Sarah Andrews, volunteer miller, showed the television cameras how the grain is milled – by water power, before Nicola Craven, owner of the Real Bread bakery made a traditional Welsh favourite from the flour – Bara Brith. This is a traditional Welsh tea bread, said Nicola. We soak the fruit overnight in tea before it is mixed with Talgarth Mill’s flour, sugar, eggs and spice and baked in loaf tins.
