Council votes to move phase two of Marquette Road construction ahead to 2017

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/06/2016 - 11:24

By Correne Martin and Caitlin Bittner

The second phase of the Prairie du Chien Marquette Road reconstruction, from Mooney Street to La Pointe Street, originally scheduled for 2017, was pushed back one year, to 2018, due to indications of funding issues from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The city was informed in October that the DOT had delayed the project, along with many others across the state, and that planning would also be delayed.

Since then, Prairie du Chien’s public works staff and administration have reworked the city’s construction and finance plans to anticipate a 2018 Marquette Road schedule. A reconstruction of North Michigan Street was moved ahead on the calendar and a Community Development Block Grant to fund part of the Michigan Street project was submitted.

To reduce the meth problem: Attack it from all angles

Submitted by admin1 on Wed, 06/29/2016 - 12:06

Editor’s note: This article is the third in a short series regarding methamphetamine and the serious problem of meth abuse in Crawford County.

By Correne Martin

As the Courier Press focuses on bringing attention to the severity of the prevalence of methamphetamine use in Crawford County, the newspaper continues to publish frequent reports of arrests and charges of abusers. Coincidentally, the June 27 issue included the second story in this series, right alongside an article about five Prairie du Chien residents busted with meth, as well as heroin and psilocybin mushrooms.

This latest instance of a search warrant leading to arrests is an example of Crawford County law enforcement’s continued battle against the problem. The county judicial system will now decide how to handle this case as it considers other meth cases, which have become all too familiar.
