Show rundown

Charmant sale

Old Kmart lot development

Badger Hickey park 

North side pool

New airline, new airport director

City administrator update

City Council President Tamra Dickinson in studio as La Crosse Talk PM returns from about a year hiatus.

On the show we discuss a crazy amount of things, including one of the two parks reopening, the Charmant sale needing council approval, the search for an airport director and bringing in Allegiant Airlines. We also hit on the old Kmart lot development status, the DOT bike lanes plan for downtown, hiring a city administrator and closing the north side pool.

Dickinson also gives an update on getting new ADA compliant bathrooms installed at Badger Hickey Park on the north side. 

In regards to the parks reopening, Dickinson explained how it was a soft opening, with Burns Park first, then Cameron Park in maybe a few months. Both have been closed since early September.

Dickinson also talked about the details with Allegiant Air coming to the La Crosse airport, plus Lauren Koss being the interim director and how long the search will be for a permanent one.

In terms of things coming before the council, Dickinson talked about the development group needing to rework its proposal on the old Kmart lot, as well as the working group studying the city administrator position getting set to present to the council at a special meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday.
