Crossplane plans rail station site and updates transit-related codes in village

The Village of Cross Plains is taking significant steps towards enhancing regional transit services, as discussed in the recent VOCP Sustainability Committee meeting on July 11, 2025. The committee expressed strong support for regional efforts to develop transit systems and is actively seeking to identify a site for a potential future rail station within the village. This initiative aims to improve mass transit opportunities for residents and commuters alike.

As part of this effort, the village plans to review and update its codes and ordinances to facilitate mixed-use developments around future transit facility sites. This strategic move is designed to create vibrant community spaces that integrate residential, commercial, and transit options, making it easier for residents to access public transportation.

Additionally, committee members highlighted the importance of collaborating with existing trails, such as the Wolf Run Trail, which is planned to extend from Mesa to Milton. This partnership could enhance connectivity and promote sustainable transportation options within the community.

The discussions at the meeting underscore the village's commitment to fostering a more sustainable and accessible transportation network. As these plans move forward, residents can look forward to improved transit options that will benefit the entire community.
