The pay-to-park program in La Crosse’s college neighborhoods is going to continue for another year.

The city board of public works voted this week to extend the pilot program, where students and others can pay a dollar an hour to park on residential streets around UW-L and Western Tech.

The COVID epidemic disrupted La Crosse’s 12-month experiment in freeing up parking spaces near Western Tech and UW-L.

Elsen doesn’t know for sure how much money La Crosse made from the dollar-an-hour parking rate.
