As a new ramp rises near the La Crosse riverfront, the U-W-L campus is moving ahead with its plans for a 600-stall ramp. Admittedly, it's not on the top of Chancellor Joe Gow's to-do list, but it's coming up soon, with construction ready to start next fall.  The cost of a long-term parking permit at U-W-L would rise about 80 dollars, to pay for the combination ramp and police station.  Earlier this week, Gow said a renovation of the Cowley Science Hall might have to wait until after 2015, because the campus power plant needs to be modernized first.
