Ben's list is exactly what I took from the talk too. One idea I had was to map out the youth facilities that already exist in the downtown area as a way to demonstrate the need/non-need for better youth programs. Finding data for this may be impossible, and may be too hard for a 2.5 week project. Also interesting to consider regarding the youth dimension is the removal of the Madison youth center by the overture center property. This may make a very strong case for reinstating more youth related outlets downtown.
I think that before gathering and manipulating data, we need to decide the theme of redevelopment of the Madison Central library. It might need more research and public opinion. However, I think that thematizing the library is the first step.
