La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds in studio discussing the sale of the former south side library, an update on the homeless situation, parking minimums and rethinking traffic — including making downtown two-way streets again.

Began the show, however, talking about Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers visiting La Crosse to tour the wastewater treatment plant, which is set to open in late summer. We also spent some time discussing the $68 million plant’s features — like it powering itself and coming coming off the grid. That also led to a conversation about electric vehicles, including city busses.

After that (16:45), we talked the potential sale of the south side former library and just how that process will work and how it’s decided who to sell to.

The bottom half of the hour (20:10) started with how this month is the 24th year of the show — which Mitch started in 2005 — followed by some city council business coming up Thursday, including committee approved funding for the Legal Action of Wisconsin to assist with evictions.

Then (22:15) we got into a bit of an update on the city-count effort’s Pathways Home plan to end homelessness in the city. 

Lastly (28:15), we began talking about the city’s parking minimums for residential properties but that led to a traffic conversation, including Reynolds’ wish that 3rd and 4th streets downtown could go back to two-way traffic.
