ACTION ITEM STATUS – FEBRUARY 2006

 

GRANT STATUS

We applied for a grant to put in a 14 mile, DNR approved, trail from Portage Bridge in Houghton through Dollar Bay and Like Linden to Calumet.

 

We ran into a few roadblocks regarding easements but both issues are currently waiting for final signatures:

1.     Issue with International Paper ownership – As it stands at this time, the DNR is finalizing the purchase of the property.

2.     Issue with the Village of Lake Linden – This issue is being resolved by way of a land swap between the DNR and Like Linden Village.

 

The grant was deferred until these issues were resolved.  It now looks good and we hope to get the grant before this summer.

 

TRAIL SYSTEM OWNERSHIP

In other action, we met with the Keweenaw County Board of Commissioners and asked if they would purchase the entire snowmobile & ATV trail system.  This would create a multi-use trail system throughout the entire county as stated in the Keweenaw County Recreation Plan.

 

The Board voted unanimously to apply for funding to make the purchase.  Letters were sent to International Paper Company about their intent and to WUPPDR to secure grant monies to do so.
