The King Street Greenway will be an extension of the existing greenway from 8th to 22nd Street, which gives multimodal access to many residents and businesses alike. The greenways final extension from the Mississippi to 7th Street will play into the much larger bicycle and pedestrian network in the City of La Crosse. Proposed design for the King Street Greenway includes raised alley crossings, permanent and temporary bump out treatments, bioretention bump out planters, a pedestrian refuge island, and rain gardens.

See the King St Greenway Mid-build Plans(PDF, 7MB) and Low-build Plans(PDF, 7MB).

What is a Greenway?

La Crosse’s Neighborhood Greenways, also known as slow streets, are streets with low motorized traffic volumes and speeds, designated and designed to give bicycle and pedestrian travel priority. La Crosse’s Neighborhood Greenways use signs, pavement markings, green infrastructure, and speed and volume management measures to create safe places for people to bicycle and walk.
