What would mayor like to do

Just getting by

Emerson historic designation

Juneteenth

North Side Library closure and future

Public market

What happens next now that the north side library is officially closed?

La Crosse Mayor Shaundel Washington-Spivey in studio Monday to break down the city's next steps, explaining the upcoming request for proposals (RFP) process and addressing the transparency questions surrounding the three groups that have already expressed interest in the building.

Before that, though, we discussed the narrative that the city is “on (the) attack” against the North Side regarding the pool and library closures — with the Northside Neighborhood Center expressing its frustration on the library sale. We then shifted to why the city council stripped Emerson Elementary School of its historic designation.

We ended the show, circling back to what the mayor would like to see get done, which included bringing a public market to La Crosse — and what that would look like for him.

The hour also highlighted Washington-Spivey's excitement for celebrating Juneteenth on Saturday in Riverside Park.
