During early September, Kenosha County announced that work to pave the
south segment of the Kenosha County Bicycle/Pedestrian Trail, located
between 89th Street and the Illinois border in the Village, would take
place. The Kenosha County Division of Highways is performing the work.
The estimated cost for the work is $440,000. Fifty percent of the
project costs will be funded by Kenosha County, and 50% of the costs
will be paid for with a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources.
Work involved the construction of a 10-foot wide
asphalt path for the entire length of the project. Additionally,
improvements will be made to accommodate trail use by individuals with
disabilities. Improvements including signing and pavement markings will
be made at all road crossings. Work associated with the project is
expected to be complete this fall, however, landscaping may be completed
during the spring of 2012.
