The north library, more bike lanes and "de-teching" the classroom with Adam Hoffer

From ways to save the north branch library to more bicycle lanes as everyone rides e-bikes to removing tech from the classroom with economist, Dr. Adam Hoffer. We’ve hit on the concept of “creative destruction” a couple of weeks in a row in different areas. This week, we talked about the Wisconsin DOT taking public comments on a reconstruction of downtown La Crosse along 3rd and 4th street. A few options are to include bike lanes. We discussed how e-bike tech is making bicycling more popular and how the city could benefit from a robust bicycle lane network. We also talked about downtown parking in La Crosse — as these DOT plans could cut street parking downtown in half. We opened the show talking about ways to save the north branch library. Lastly, we discussed the reverse of using tech — mainly in the classroom. As Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has signed, essentially, a school cellphone ban. We talk about moving tech out of the classroom altogether — going back to good ole’ notebooks and pencils. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
