While construction crews begin work on State Highway 42 in Egg Harbor, Village Administrator Megan Sawyer is equally excited about the progress on another way she hopes you use to get to the area in the future.

Last month, Village of Egg Harbor officials organized public forums about the Egg Harbor Trails Initiative. In partnership with the Town of Egg Harbor and the Town of Gibraltar, the Village of Egg Harbor hopes to construct a series of four off-road, multi-use trails to connect the communities. Representatives from the Town of Gibraltar, Destination Door County, Door County Medical Center, Village of Sister Bay, the Wisconsin Bike Federation, and the National Park Service spoke at the two sessions, highlighting the system's benefits. Sawyer says the trail system would provide the county with one thing it needs: a safe way for people to travel throughout the peninsula without relying on a car. She is happy with the feedback the project has received, adding that it will play a role in how they proceed moving forward.

The village closed its survey concerning the project on December 31st, but Sawyer says there will be plenty of other opportunities to weigh in over the coming months.
