4. Resolution to Adopt the St. Croix County Outdoor Recreation Plan 2019-2023
Supr. Peavey expressed concerns regarding the proposed addition to the Wildwood Trail
and indicated he does not recall this being addressed at the public hearings nor was it
brought to the Eau Galle town board. He also was concerned the proposed trail being on
town roads with high agriculture equipment traffic. Supr. Peavey indicated he will abstain
from voting due to the section on Wildwood Trail as it has a direct impact on his family and
to avoid a conflict of interest. Supr. Hansen responded this addition is part of the bike plan
and is a small section of road to connect Wildwood Trail to the Eau Galle recreation area.
Hansen would like to meet with the Eau Galle town board and encouraged this plan be
approved today.
Supr. Coulter indicated his request in committee to consolidate the financial information
into one section to include all financial implications was not done. Coulter also objected to
the bike plan noting the proposed bike trail is 110 miles and is currently private property.
The initial estimate for each mile is $650,000 to acquire and construct. Coulter stated the
legislature and governor recently signed a bill to prohibit eminent domain to acquire bike
trails. Supr. Hansen encouraged members to pass this plan as it is necessary to apply for
grants.
