Wisconsin Historical Society (Map)
Papers of Richard Gross, a young community activist who served on the Madison, Wisconsin City Council, 1975-1977, as a representative of the 9th district central city area. Gross's participation in an ad hoc committee to select a site for the city bus barn and the controversy surrounding that selection are the best documented aspects of the papers. The files include correspondence, reports, minutes of meetings, resolutions introduced to the Council, and information on the Triangle and Bassett neighborhoods in the 9th district. The collection documents the leftist perspective Gross brought to national social issues as well as city matters and his collaboration with other central city alderpersons in efforts to protect the elderly, low-income, and student populations in downtown neighborhoods.
