Work on a winding, off-street trail along Lakeshore Avenue in Neenah can move forward.
Winnebago County Judge Karen Siefert sided with the city, over property owners, in a lawsuit.
Mayor Dean Kaufert says the land between the street and the shore of Lake Winnebago is city right-of-way.
Before construction can start on the trail, UW-Milwaukee researchers will be digging in that area, because some artifacts were found. Kaufert says if there aren’t any human remains, they’ll collect what they find, and the project can move forward.
The city is also rebuilding the street, and the underground utility work is done.
