Sustainable La Crosse Alternative Transportation Forum

Here's a great opportunity to get involved in the discussion about what we want for our region's transportation future - more roads, more spending on car infrastructure, more pollution, more congestion, more fossil fuel dependence? Or more alternatives including public transportation, high occupancy vehicle lanes, bike infrastructure, etc.
