Board approves median landscaping at South Avenue and Fourth Street
Summary
The La Crosse Board of Public Works unanimously approved maintenance and landscaping work for the median at South Avenue and Fourth Street, including removing gravel, repurposing planters, trimming trees and installing a low-growing seed mix to reduce weeds and maintenance needs.
The La Crosse Board of Public Works on Sept. 8 unanimously approved a request to complete median landscaping at the junction of South Avenue and Fourth Street.
A parks department staff member described the site as the median near the MOCA and Gunderson, close to Polk Park, where four planters currently sit. The staffer said the work would repurpose the planters, remove gravel rock, perform tree maintenance and replace the rock with soil and a low‑growing seed mix to make the area easier to maintain and more visually appealing.
“...it would be that median where there's currently 4 planters,” the parks staff member said, describing the location and existing features.
Council member Goggin moved to approve the project; Director Gallagher seconded the motion. The board voted and the motion passed unanimously. The transcript does not list a numeric vote tally.
Board members emphasized that the work is intended as maintenance and beautification at a major city entrance and that the parks department has assisted with upkeep in the past. No formal budget line or contractor name was provided in the record; staff did not attach a map to the agenda item and said the item had no formal address.
