The Milwaukee County Trail Council is holding an open house to share a draft of the Northwest Side Trail plan on Thursday, Feb. 9 from 4-7 p.m. at the Blatz Pavilion at Lincoln Park, 1301 W. Hampton Ave.
The intent of the Northwest Trail Connections Plan is to help Milwaukee County understand where more trails are needed and equitable trail access throughout Milwaukee's Northwest side. The plan builds on previous studies that have proposed trail corridors throughout northern Milwaukee County.
Participants are invited to review the plan, ask questions and provide feedback to the Milwaukee County Trails Council.
"We've heard from more than 1,000 county residents over the last one-and-a-half years, and we're excited to share the plan with you," said Trails Coordinator Jessica Binder.
There will also be light refreshments, door prizes and a bike raffle provided by Wheel & Sprocket.
You can find more information on the Milwaukee County Parks website or RSVP on Facebook.
