La Crosse, Wisconsin, paving paradise

lacrossetribune : "With one north-south artery, Lang Drive, running through the La Crosse River marsh -- and an electorate that soundly rejected a proposed second road through the marsh -- La Crosse officials were reluctant to sign on to a study by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, which wants the city to agree to go along with the final recommendation before the DOT will study ways to alleviate congestion on the cities three main north-south roads: Lang Drive, Hwy. 16 and Rose Street."

Waunakee, WI, #freetransit a "godsend"

County grant to offer seniors transport options - The Waunakee Tribune: Regional: "Four times a week, 96-year-old Sun Prairie resident Beulah Muchlemann gets on the bus to take the short trip to the Colonial Club.
Since she stopped driving more than 10 years ago, the free service has been a godsend, allowing her to go play cards, socialize with friends, and get a noontime lunch."
