Rails to Trails (RTC) has not, historically, been active in the state,
but RTC would like to change this. Their president, Kieth Laughlin,
visited our area twice this year and have a major project in the works -
what the call the "Route of the Badger", which is centered on
Burlington. Burlington, as it turns out, is the hub of several
abandoned rail lines, which connect the city to Elkhorn to the west,
Racine to the east and Milwaukee to the northwest. For the last couple
of years, they have been working with the city of Burlington to
facilitate connecting these trails in a coherent way. As the rail line
approaches Racine, it could be a very nice connection of housing in the
city to industrial companies west of town. Dave Cieslewicz join us at
RTC's recent Trailblazer tour of trails in Southeast Wisconsin.
I love both of the organizations, and both love our state.
