Plans Approved for New Isle La Plume Bridge Design
The La Crosse Common Council Committee of the Whole voted to hire the Minneapolis firm Jacus and Amble to design a new Isle la Plume bridge with a fee of seven percent of estimated construction costs around 105000 dollars. The decision overrushed a prior 4-1 recommendation to wait, citing a Corps of Engineers 10 foot dike plan and flood-control concerns. Aldermen argued over timing, but a majority overridden the committee and approved moving ahead with the bridge plan now rather than delaying further.
