Downtown historic district sign standards

Commissioners flagged that the new Bodega sign is very large but the district's standards set no size limits — leaving the commission unable to require a smaller sign. Revisiting the standards may be a future project.

Bike parking design standards

A proposal to ban worst-offender bike racks (schoolyard-style, wheelbenders) and require secure, usable short-term parking, plus indoor long-term bike storage in larger multifamily buildings. It would ride along with the city's zoning code update, though members want more evidence from cities La Crosse's size before committing.
