LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) La Crosse’s Outdoor Café Program got another extension, with the new sunset date being November 12, Tuesday night to help alleviate COVID-19 restrictions’ crippling effect on restaurants and taverns.
The city’s Judiciary & Administration Committee approved a resolution to extend the program, which the Common Council enacted in July and extended in November until March 21 as the COVID scourge continued.
The resolution, which now advances to the Common Council, also enables restaurants and taverns that don’t have sidewalk cafes or outdoor eating areas to establish or expand such spaces in adjoining private parking lots, in the public street or on an adjacent property.

A recent report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers gave Wisconsin roads a D+.
A D+ rating shouldn’t set the standard for Wisconsin roads, but that low of a grade is not all that surprising to the city and the county.
“I think it’s a indicator of the state of infrastructure across our nation,” La Crosse Mayor Tim Kabat said.
“If we had more funding, theoretically we could get a better grade on their system,” La Crosse County highway engineer Joe Langeberg said.
