Parks committee approves resolution giving it approval power over bike trails maintenance, alterations. By Graham Kilmer - Apr 14th, 2021 07:39 pm //end headline wrapper ?>John Weishan, Anthony Staskunas and Patti Logsdon.
What began with complaints about alterations to a mountain bike trail in Franklin may end with the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors giving itself new power over staff in the Milwaukee County Parks department.
The full board will soon consider legislation that would give it the authority and final approval of any major alterations made to bike trails in Milwaukee County. The legislation defines a major alteration as 20% of a trail or more. If the extent of the alteration cannot be determined, the director of the parks department must then consult with the county supervisor representing that area.
A small plot of woods with a mountain biking trail in Whitnall Park has led to a potentially big change for how Milwaukee County manages trails in county parks.
A new ordinance before the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors would require Milwaukee County Parks to get approval from the board to establish new bike trails or alter 20% or more of an existing trail.
“This is not an anti-mountain-biking resolution. … All we’re saying is the parks committee and the board should have oversight, especially when there’s such a new change,” said County Supervisor Anthony Staskunas, one of the co-sponsors of the ordinance that passed the board s Parks, Energy and Environment Committee Tuesday and will now go before the full board.
