Alternate Side Parking Season Kick-Off

There might not be many ten dollar tickets on windshields this morning, but they're coming.
Tis the season after all. Alternate side parking ticket season is on. Started at one this morning. So, today's November first. That means, this morning you needed to be parked on the odd side of the street. Tomorrow it's the even side. And so on. Ten dollar tickets in La Crosse. Among communities that have hiked the alternate side ticket prices in recent years. That price bump last year may explain why La Crosse traffic cops wrote fifty percent fewer tickets last winter than the year before. But part of that explanation also may be the parking study conducted around UWL last year. Cars were exempted from alternate side parking rules except after notification by the city for things like snow emergencies.

UW La Crosse is searching for a new head football coach. Larry Terry announced this morning he will retire at the end of this season. Terry has coached the Eagles for the past eleven seasons, compiling a 64-47 record. He ranks as the third all time winningest coach in UWL history. This season has been a disappointment, but Terry says his decision was not based on this year's record.
Administrator in City's Planning Department Cited for Hit and RunThursday, 28 October 2010 16:11 | | |
Why a high profile city employee side-swiped a car on Friday night and kept on driving is anybody's guess. La Crosse's community development administrator, Liana Escott, apparently swerved into a car parked on Market Street late last Friday night but didn't stop to check the damage. Police say, the guy in the car that got hit tried to chase Escott down but she wouldn't stop and eventually he gave up, satisfied to turn in her license plate number to cops. Escott, who's also at the head of the city's Safe Routes to School program, finally talked to police on Tuesday, by then she'd repaired the damage to her car but was apparently evasive about it. She's been busted on a hit and run charge.
Life Saving Ideas for Riverside Stilll Open for DiscussionThursday, 28 October 2010 10:17 | | |
New ladders at the Riverside Park levee in La Crosse? That's what one local business owner has suggested to help make the city's riverfront safer. But city parks boss Steve Carlyon says maybe the ladders that are already in place at the levee would be good enough. Although Carlyon likes the idea of marking the ladders somehow so that they're more visible. Another idea is to put life rings or throw buoys at the edge of the park. Carlyon says he's a little skeptical of that idea because it takes some training to use a life ring property. But, he says, he'll continue to research the idea.
