We are excited to share that the Village of Harrison was awarded a WisDOT TAP grant for the design and construction of a new trail along Old Highway Road. This project will allow bicyclist and pedestrians a safe, separated travel way versus the existing bike lanes on the roadway. The new trail will be the 1st new trail section of the High Cliff Connection to be constructed.
WisDOT awarded the Village a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant for $935,489.34. This funding will help cover the design, construction, and construction oversight costs for the new trail. Details on grant timing are still forthcoming, but the federal grant process is more involved than locally-funded public works projects, so construction will still be a few years out.
The new off-road trail will be located within the existing public right-of-way. This is possible with the planned roadway modifications and the replacement of the bike lane width with the off-road trail.
