Neighbors of Wausau’s 1300 Cleveland Ave. property still have no timeline for the city to clear logs and end training at the site after a committee deadlocked Wednesday. Council President Terry Kilian proposed ending city training on the site by Feb. 1 and giving the parks department six months to move its log storage.

Staff said the restriction will go to the Wausau City Council on Nov. 24 regardless.
