City could spend $40k for study to repair bluffs near Grandad
City spent $500k to repair Bliss Road in 2007, ’08
Grandad Bluff might need more repair work next year, near Bliss Road.
A La Crosse city council committee has given first approval to authorize a new study of the road and the land around it. The study would cost around $40,000.
La Crosse spent half-a-million dollars repairing Bliss Road on Grandad Bluff, after heavy rains and mudslides in 2007 and 2008.
Bliss Road was shut down for long periods of time after landslides nearly a decade ago.
Assistant public works director Bob Haines says the newest damage to the slope was discovered back in May, but Bliss Road was not affected.
