La Crosse County Roadway Plan (October 2007) The La Crosse County Roadway Plan investigates and provides recommendations for the impacts of increased traffic volumes and residential and commercial growth on the County's roadway network. Recommended roadway improvements focus on improving facilities expected to become more congested, improving connectivity in developing areas, and reconstructing substandard road facilities. In addition to roadway improvements, the study includes a "toolbox" of access management strategies, Complete Street design concepts and traffic engineering guidelines. Here is the study document in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) form. Some chapters are pretty large; please contact the LAPC office to view the report in another format:

LAPC 2010-2012 STP-Urban Program Solicitation Letter The Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for La Crescent The Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for La Crescent was completed in 2004 and contains recommendations for the MTP. The plan identifies planned bicycle and pedestrian corridors in the La Crescent Area and suggests steps for their implementation. The Multimodal Transit Element The Multimodal Transit Element was also completed in 2004. The plan includes designs for a unified system of local and regional routes that meets the needs of all members in the community. Coulee Visions Coulee Visions: Creating Quality Choices for the Coulee Region is an ongoing process of public involvement in determining transportation and land use policies which preserve the unique natural and cultural values of the La Crosse area. The Coulee Visions workbook and slide show can be used in the comprehensive planning process currently underway in many of the communities in the area. South La Crosse Transportation Study The south La Crosse Transportation Study was a cooperative effort between the Wisconsin DOT, LAPC, City of La Crosse and Town of Shelby. This intent of the study (completed in 2006) was to identify a common long-term vision for the future of South Avenue/Mormon Coulee Road. In addition, timing of improvements and programming options for WIS 35 South and US 14/61 were included in the study.
HWY 14/16/61 Corridor Study - La Crescent, MN. The purpose of the TIP is to consolidate in one document a listing of all state- and federally-funded transportation projects that could be undertaken in the La Crosse area in the next four years. Projects proposed for funding are listed in order by primary jurisdiction and year. The TIP also includes a financing plan that shows the specific source of funds to be used for each project listed. The amount of funding programmed each year by source is believed realistic based upon past trends and the expected availability of federal, state and local funds. The Planning Work Program (PWP) The purpose of the Planning Work Program for the La Crosse Planning Area is to present the entire range of planning activities that the LAPC proposes to undertake during the next two years. The planning work program is designed to ensure that data used in the planning process is current and valid in order to accommodate plan and program reevaluation and revision so that changing conditions are reflected in such plans and programs. The Public Participation Plan (PPP)
The Public Participation Plan is a guide to how the
LAPC involves the public in the transportation planning process. The plan
includes information on the LAPC's target audience, environmental justice
analysis, the advisory committees structure and methods of outreach used in
the planning process. |
