This 0.75-mile trail was built within County right of way along CTH E adjacent to property owner’s front yards. In addition to the standard 10-foot-wide asphalt trail, the trail incorporates two new walls to extend the roadway plateau over tributaries, coordination with the railroad for a new at-grade crossing along CTH E, connection with existing County trail on the west side, and future planning for tie-in with on-road facilities.

This 1.0-mile trail required acquisition of land from adjacent neighbors’ front yards and was built along the rural cross-section of CTH C. In addition to the standard 10-foot-wide asphalt trail, a pedestrian bridge crosses the Des Plaines River. The structure design included hydrologic and hydraulic analysis within Des Plaines River mapped floodplain, extensive public involvement with alternative alignments, tie-in with Pleasant Prairie’s future trail extension, significant utility coordination/relocation, a boardwalk within wetlands, stormwater modifications, and detailed design minimizing landscape loss for residents and addressing privacy concerns.

This 1.5-mile multi-use path was built within county right of way along STH 31 and CTH KR. Design challenges included significant wetland crossings, high-volume adjacent vehicular traffic, signalization and intersection improvements, and numerous structure additions and modifications. The Pike River Trail is an important connection for the County’s bike/pedestrian plan as it provides a north-south link to a future northern trail designed by the Village of Mt. Pleasant.

With WisDOT funds and jurisdiction involved, interagency coordination was key in keeping the project on-track. CORRE’s guidance navigating through the red tape led to successful final design concepts.
