Neighborhood Advocate Has High Hopes for Road Study
Charley Weeth isn’t certain what a transportation study likely to be funded by the city of La Crosse will say about the city’s transportation needs. But the president of Livable Neighborhoods believes that it will say something other than all of the city’s traffic needs can be solved by a new north-south road through the marsh, which has been the DOT’s transportation solution for decades. An outdated plan, says Weeth
