Council permits Old Abe State Trail within Hwy 178 right-of-way
Summary
Chippewa Falls approved the State Trunk Highway Connection Application allowing the Old Abe State Trail to occupy the State Highway 178 right-of-way, a step toward trail connectivity and use of the state corridor.
At its July 7 meeting, the Chippewa Falls Common Council approved a State Trunk Highway Connection Application permitting the Old Abe State Trail within the State Highway 178 right-of-way. The motion (Nadreau/Hull) passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The minutes record only the council’s approval; the application enables the trail to use the highway right-of-way and likely precedes detailed engineering or permitting with state agencies.
Council action clears a municipal approval needed to coordinate trail routing with the state highway corridor. The minutes note the motion carried by roll-call vote with all members present voting aye; specific design, maintenance responsibilities, and any agreements with state agencies are not detailed in the meeting minutes and will be addressed separately.
