Forward La Crosse Will Host An Open House On Tuesday, March 26, To Gather Further Public Input On Its Bicycle And Pedestrian Master Plan
The City is updating the 2012 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan with the goal of improving the bicycle and pedestrian transportation network throughout the city. The draft plan includes strategies for the creation, growth, and effective administration of current and prospective bicycle, pedestrian, and multi-modal networks within the City of La Crosse.
The draft plan content is based on community engagement that has taken place since the fall of 2023. Since then:
- 100 community members interacted with a Pop-Up event
- 245 participants engaged with an interactive online map to share their experiences walking and biking in La Crosse
- 329 participants filled out a survey
- 59 community members attended an Open House
- 12 community members attended an in-depth walkable community workshop
“We deeply appreciate the robust engagement and dedication shown by our community members in shaping the future of La Crosse’s cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. Community involvement is invaluable in ensuring that our plans accurately reflect the diverse needs and desires of all residents. As we continue this process, we encourage even greater community input to further enrich our efforts and guarantee that every voice is heard and considered.” – Jenna Dinkel, Associate Planner, City of La Crosse Planning and Development
For further information on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan update, please visit the project’s website at forwardlacrosse.org. There, you can access draft plan materials and offer input via survey for those unable to attend the open house.
