PM. If it is raining the event will be held the following day. There will be an

After public input the updates are as follows.  
- Leave the 'Big Three' (Hwy 35, 53 and Losey) on the plan in their own unique  
color.  
- Leave Main St. on the plan especially because it's the most dense part of La  
Crosse with the most potential for short trip conversions and provides key  
connections.  
- Leave on 3rd and 4th Street with a consideration/focus on pedestrian facilities  
because it aligns with Imagine 2040 Plan and the city's long term vision.
