Greenway Trail Might Have a New Section Built Soon
The Park and Recreation Commission accepted a bid that will include a 3,400 feet off-road asphalt trail.
The Brookfield Parks and Recreation Commission accepted a bid last week to move on to the next phase of the Greenway Trail plan, reported Brookfield Now.
The Common Council must approve the bid; its next regularly scheduled meeting is March 19.
The Greenway Trail System is designed to connect parks, both existing and planned. In December, the commission approved the plans on a preliminary basis, with the proposed trail alignment to be shifted further south and adjacent to the Deer Creek within the Ruby Park area. Plans include an adjustment with a final trail length of 3,400 linear feet and include a significant portion constructed on top of an existing gravel trail in Brookfield Manor Park.
