Political history and chances for service

Oops, all transportation stories this week! The city’s Department of Transportation has selected a location for an Amtrak station should the train ever come to Madison. The updated plans for the north-south expansion of the bus rapid transit line includes more parking. And state archaeologists have found 16 more ancient canoes in Lake Mendota. Executive producer Hayley Sperling talks with newsletter editor Rob Thomas and producer Jade Iseri-Ramos about these stories. Plus, we do our best to keep the show from derailing.
