ATVs on New London-Seymour rail-rail would hurt it’s potential as a regional bicycling link
Whether ATVs should have access to the still undeveloped New London to Seymour rail-trail in east-central Wisconsin was the subject of a public hearing in Black Creek last night. The Appleton Post-Crescent covered it.
I spoke at the meeting to highlight the trail’s potential as a link to the Wiouwash, Friendship, Mountain Bay and Fox River state trails – all nonmotorized and in various stages of development – creating a northeast regional hub for bicycling tourism.
But as an isolated ATV trail, this 22.8-mile stretch would become a speedway to nowhereville.
