DNR Seeks Input for New Bikeways

The DNR has scheduled a series of open forums to seek feedback about new proposed bike trails. The DNR is in collaboration with the DOT and the Wisconsin Bike Federation to identify the best routes suited for designation. The public contributed their thoughts earlier this year about where potential bike trails should be located. Now, DNR spokesperson Brigit Brown says it’s up to the public to have the final say.

 “These are both what are considered federal level bike routes; they’re part of the U.S. bike route system as well as a new system of state level bike routes. What the public will be able to do is view the specific routes; so exactly where those different routes would go within the state of Wisconsin.”

A meeting will be held at the Northcentral Technical College in Wausau on October 1. Brown says all meetings will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 pm. All materials discussed at the meetings will be posted on the DNR website.  To view the materials and a list of dates and places of the meetings go to dnr.wi.gov.
