Committee approves La Crosse Street reconstruction agreement over parking objections, 3–2
Summary
The Finance and Personnel Committee voted 3–2 to approve a state municipal agreement to reconstruct La Crosse Street from 7th to 12th (Project ID 7570201). Council Member Janssen opposed the measure, saying residents and business owners asked to keep on-street parking.
The Finance and Personnel Committee on Dec. 1 approved a state municipal agreement to reconstruct La Crosse Street between 7th and 12th, with the motion passing 3–2.
Council Member Janssen said she would not support the project, contending that "the residents and the business owners [are] being ignored, and asking to keep street parking," and that concern led her to vote against the measure.
The resolution (Project ID 7570201) was moved by Council Member Northwood and seconded by Council Member Sleznicko; the committee called the vote and the motion carried 3–2. No additional detail on which members voted yes or no was recorded in the transcript.
The agreement authorizes the mayor and city clerk to sign the state municipal paperwork needed to proceed with reconstruction. Committee discussion focused narrowly on parking impacts; no amendment to the municipal agreement was recorded.
The committee did not attach further conditions to the approval. The resolution will proceed as approved unless the full council sets additional review steps or modifications.
