Small clarification: The Cannonball Path from Beltline to Fish Hatchery Road (Cannonball Path Phase 5) along the Arboretum is fully funded with City of Madison funds, easements have been obtained from the UW and from the Madison Recycling property and plans are final. Permits from the WDNR and U.S. Corps of Engineers are still pending but we hope to resolve that in time to begin construction in late-summer. The construction is complex enough that, unfortunately, it will not be completed until summer of 2015.

E-newsletter. 7 - Cannonball Path & Frontage Road Bike Path Update The section of the Cannonball Path that is located in Fitchburg currently is gravel. Fitchburg is planning to wait for the McKee Road/ Hwy PD overpass to be completed; then pave the whole trail from below the Arboretum all the way to the overpass on PD. The ETC (estimated time of completion) is this summer. Currently the Frontage Road Pedestrian/Bike Path begins at Seminole Hwy and ends to the east at the ?Y? in the road. The monies used for that section came from the DOT project. When will the path be extended down to Todd Drive? The City of Madison has applied for a grant to extend the multi-use path in front of the Arboretum where it currently ends. There are several grade issues that make this section of path very expensive, $1,000,000+. Once the grant application is approved the City of Madison will place the project in the schedule. from Sheri Carter, Arbor Hills Neighborhood Association
