City council president Dickinson on north side pool, Kmart lot, Van Orden Salvation Army comments and bike lanes

We covered a lot with La Crosse city council president Tamra Dickinson in studio, including the potential downtown public market and US House Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s comments about the Salvation Army expansion being held up by the council. We also hit on bike lanes through downtown, the situation with the Kmart lot, the north side pool situation and the upcoming, potentially “complicated” final budget meeting. Dickinson also brought up some good things happening on the north side — where her council district is located. The city council meets at 6 p.m. Thursday for its monthly meeting and then on Nov. 17 will meet to finalize the 2026 budget, where departments have had to come up with $2 million in cuts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
