The Park, Forestry, Trails & Rec Committee and the Public Works and Utility Commission were presented 3 options for the Wood Lane reconstruction.
The 3 design options were:
Twenty-two foot wide roadway with five foot bicycle lanes on each side of the roadway with 3 foot gravel shoulders.
Twenty-four foot road with 3 foot gravel shoulders and 5 foot trails on each side of the road.
10-foot multi-use trail (similar to the one on Lakeview Drive) and going with the 12 foot travel lanes and 3 foot gravel shoulders on the roadway.
The committee and commission both chose option no. 3 depending upon the approval from the DNR. If option no. 3 did not work out it was decided to revert to option no. 1.
