The Trail
Improvement Project is a momentous project to make a significant safety,
transportation, and aesthetic improvement along a section of the Ozaukee
Interurban Trail.
This project will replace approximately 2 miles of
on-road designated trail, with 1.3 miles of off-road paved trail segment
and the construction of a 415 ft. long pedestrian / bicycle bridge
over CTH W and I- 43 in
the Town of Grafton (north of Ulao Pkwy).
This improvement will take
pedestrian/bicycle traffic off of a busy, high-speed County Highway and
provide a safe and scenic trail that will
pass near a four-star rated golf course, hardwood woodlands and several small wetlands between
Grafton and Port Washington.
The Ozaukee
Interurban Trail has added to the quality of life for all County residents
and is a tremendous resource for families.
The health benefits of using this trail are numerous and as a tourism
destination, the Trail is within close proximity to Milwaukee, Chicago,
Madison and Green Bay. The economic impact of these visitors will have a
positive effect for Ozaukee County businesses and all county residents.
The total cost of the Trail Improvement
Project is $1.762 million. However, 80% of the
project cost has been raised through CMAQ and STP funding
from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Only $33,000 of the
$353,000 private local share is needed to complete this trail
improvement. Your financial support will help us reach this goal!
