It could be another summer of worrying about whether heavy rains will wreck a popular road in the bluffs.

At La Crosse City Hall, the board of public works has voted to spend existing city funding on a soil consultant to look at the condition of the ground under Bliss Road on Grandad Bluff.

Money to hire a soil consultant would be paid from the existing storm water budget. Bliss Road is getting attention again, because of erosion problems along a sewer line at the top of the bluff.
