The point that Charley brings up is far reaching. After looking at
FHWA's description of funding sources for pedestrian and bike trails,
there is actually a bigger pot of federal funds to draw from if we can
actually layout trails that serve an actual TRANSPORTATION purpose as
Charley suggests, as opposed to just recreation.
I believe a connector route between Wilson and Baxter could serve
Marquette HS students well and better funding options would exist if
we tie the local high schools (maybe jr. high schools as well) into
the overall plan.
