" bow to pressure. Like allowing a 40% 'RELAXING' in present parking codes if the builder/developer installs bike racks? One only remember the Mr. D's debacle, and order of events to reflect on something that already passed concerning this issue that smelled fishy, real fishy! Look the City leaders have already stated that the are on a quest for "acquisition" of land for parking for LHI, pump house, Center, Piggy's etc, etc. The County wants to build and then raise another ramp , sharing it with Western. Add to that another 1000 students and 8000 for a full new UWL stadium. At $14k per parking spot it scare me and my checkbook. Can you say 'emergency' might be coming around the corner once again, on our dime, actually a lot of our dimes. "

" Although a few bad ones as well. You have a self professed 'smart one' who was in on the ordinance to require surveys for any building in Lacrosse, It failed! He also came up with the brilliant ordinance to require weight load reports for professionals to add CDX or OSB roof deck in retrofit shingling applications. My friend of 40 years in a premier Architectural firm almost laughed himself out of his chair. Not only did he think the cost would be prohibitive , but did not know where he would start with so many rafters, joists, and different woods that made up those components. This is the same council man who thought an impending parking problem from the 2nd LHI building would be acceptable as it would signal we are prosperous and growing, and he welcomed it? "
