Your enthusiasm for connecting communities between Sister Bay and Egg Harbor is felt by the people helping drive the project forward. The Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission hosted its first two open houses on Wednesday, holding two two-hour sessions at Gibraltar Old Town Hall. Based on the Bayshore Connectivity Trail Feasibility Study secured by a Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program Grant, the organization is developing a comprehensive transportation plan by creating a multi-modal trail system. The network of trails would make the communities along the system more bicycle and pedestrian-friendly and connect people to parks, schools, residential areas, and commercial centers along the proposed 16-mile trek. Environmental Planner Lydia Semo says she is excited that the community is so engaged in the project.

If you missed Wednesday’s session, additional ones are planned for September 26th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
