Hi All,
Three weeks ago there were still portions of the trail blocked off
with barriers (yet there was substantial traffic along those portions
of the trail regardless).
Yesterday, all of these barriers were gone. I think that's a pretty
clear sign that the trail is officially open.
Best regards,
Sean

I rode the Badger Trail on Saturday, and it was fine. There were
some signs of recent work (e.g. the wooden frames on some of the
railings) but the trail was open and very bikeable.
I do hope that at some point they put up signs marking the cross-
roads, to help bikers orient themselves. It would also be nice to
have signs pointing the way to nearby destinations. I had been
planning to ride to Paoli; but I discovered that Sun Valley Parkway
crossed the trail on a rather high bridge. I should have remembered
this (I will next time), but signs would be nice.

I biked it Tuesday and went about 20 miles south of Madison and
back. Workmen were putting up signs Tuesday. In fact I saw 2 workmen
put up a stop sign as I rolled to the intersection. I announced that
I was the first person that had to stop at that street. It is open.
It is very nice!

Looks pretty good, judging from... ummm... the latest Google Earth
pictures, yeah, that's the ticket...
Seriously, as long as there's no active work going on, you should
be ok.
Looks like the rails on either side of the bridges are done, maybe
some
painting left to do. Lots of traffic on the trail in any case.

Is the Badger State Trail finished yet through Fitchburg? Tomorrow
will be
SO nice...a casual ride down to Illinois is tempting.
The Badger Trail promotion site says it's open:
[LINK: http://www.badger-trail.com/] http://www.badger-trail.com/
DNR's web site still says it's closed:
[LINK: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/parks/specific/badger/]
http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/parks/specific/badger/
"The 6 miles from Purcell Road to Lovell Lane, near the Madison-
Fitchburg
city limits is closed until paving is complete."
BFW's web site event listing for the grand opening in mid-
September said
it was 1.1 miles from Cty M to Purcell that was not open yet, not 6
miles.
Then there was a request on the bikies list from someone at DNR I
think to
NOT use the trail for safety and allowing workers to finish their
work
unencumbered.
But hey..winter's coming--so...
What's the scoop?
Thanks,
Dan
