City seeks to reestablish federal urban highway aid
The La Crosse Common Council urged state and federal officials to restore the urban highway aid program to finance paving Losey boulevard. The halt in April by the U S Bureau of Public Roads ended eligibility for the project under the old policy, which would have funded half the costs with no state funds. The council forwarded copies of the resolution to leaders in government.
