Boat Landing Shut Down For Emergency Repairs

It’s an officially an emergency.  The landing at the Municipal Boat Harbor is in such bad shape that La Crosse’s parks department shut it down last week to make repairs.  But the landing apparently needs some pretty significant repairs.  So, the parks department has asked to have the landing’s need a state of emergency, letting the city get it repaired in a hurry and avoiding the bid process.  The current repairs will cost the city about 33 thousand dollars.  The city’s public works board agreed to the emergency declaration at a meeting this morning.
