Action Alert

Public Information Meeting re: Sand Lake Rd / USH 53 interchange
If you live in Onalaska or ride through there now and then, then you need to be at this meeting Wednesday September 28th, 5-7:00pm, Onalaska City Hall. It looks like they may be trying to remove the bike lanes and other accommodations that were originally in the plan, despite the State’s and County’s Complete Streets policies. So make it if you can! Even with policy on our side, they will continue to strip out bicycle and pedestrian facilities at every opportunity if we don’t show up.
