Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in La Crosse public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
No overnight parking at Eagle Watch lot
Overnight parking is now banned at the Eagle Watch public parking lot on the 2600 block of Rose Street.
Urban Search and Rescue agreement renewal
La Crosse firefighters will keep training and deploying with Wisconsin's Urban Search and Rescue team — bluff rescues, confined space, swiftwater — with the state now paying $60 an hour, up from $55.
Bicycle registration ordinance repeal proposal
A little-known city rule technically requires bike registration, but almost nobody does it and it's rarely enforced. One member wants it repealed; police say it helps recover stolen bikes. No action was taken.
Green Circle Recovery junk dealer license on Commerce Street
The council approved a junk dealer license at 3019 Commerce Street with a waiver of the 1,000-foot spacing rule; the applicant documented no burning or chemicals and noted a rail yard separates the site from most homes. Council Member Trost flagged that nearby rental residents were never really notified.
