Staff stated the Wagon Wheel Trail project funding for this year was approved  
in the last Common Council meeting. Staff said they are going to enter into a  
contract with SEH to coordinate design and environmental studies. Staff stated  
they are still working on applying for grants and extra funding to cover  
additional design and construction costs outside of what they received and are  
matching through the Transportation Alternatives Program Grant.  
Update on 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program Budget requests.

Staff stated they entered in two projects that were related to the Bicycle and  
Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Staff said they entered in a request for the  
Wagon Wheel Trail and signage for Route 1 from Riverside Park to Goose  
Island Park. Randi Pueschner asked if the route ended up changing between  
now and the time funds were dispersed if the funds were locked in to this  
specific route only. Staff said this would be a question for La Crosse Area  
Planning Committee whether the goal of signing this route is able to be  
changed. Staff stated the funding would not necessarily be locked into this  
particular route.
