WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Adams Outdoor Advertising Limited Partnership v. City of Madison
Case No.: 2016AP537
Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J., Sherman, and Blanchard, JJ.
Focus: Violation of Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses
Adams Outdoor Advertising Limited Partnership (“Adams”) appeals a summary judgment in favor of the City of Madison (“the City”). Adams brought an inverse condemnation action against the City after the City constructed a bridge that obstructs the view of the west-facing side of a billboard owned by Adams. Adams also argues that the City violated the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses, and that the bridge is a private nuisance. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm the judgment on all claims.
