Oak Leaf Trail to be extended in Oak Creek, Milwaukee County seeking community input

From the Article:

Milwaukee County is looking for public input on an extension of the Oak Leaf Trail through Bender Park in Oak Creek.

A meeting will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Jan. 17, at the Lake Vista Park Pavilion, 4159 Lake Vista Parkway in Oak Creek to allow residents to express their feedback on the proposed designs for the asphalt multi-use trail.

The 1.3-mile extension will “close a key gap in the regional trail network creating a 20-mile continuous bike facility between and through Milwaukee and Racine counties,” according to Milwaukee County Parks.

Oak Creek Mayor Dan Bukiewicz said this will be a great addition for Oak Creek.

“We currently have a vast network of trails in the city and this latest extension provides even greater connectivity for people to explore parts of Oak Creek,” he said. “With the development of Lake Vista, and in the near future its northern addition as well as the residential development, it could not have come at a better time.”
