Episode Synopsis

Two guests on a Tuesday, included Jeff Tripp, the La Crosse airport’s new director, as he prepares for Donald Trump’s visit Thursday, plus Robbie Young, on the bike-ped committee on making the city better for bicyclists. Tripp joined first (2:00) and we got to know a bit about his responsibilities as the La Crosse Regional Airport director, and what he’s going through, as the Secret Service gets the area ready for Trump’s town hall at the La Crosse Center. After that (18:00), Robbie Young, on the city’s bike-pedestrian advisory committee and owner of the Coulee Bicycle Co. in Onalaska, talks a bit about how e-bikes are changing. We also discuss the difficulties bicyclists have getting from one end of town to the other, and some of the Wisconsin DOT’s plans for Third and Fourth streets downtown, which include protected bike lanes. Began the show with a bit of an update on the Trump town hall, where doors will now open at 2 p.m., plus we learned who the moderator will be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
