BCSBC team,
Here’s what I found from our previous experience with the FRT in Brown County. The trail is federally railbanked. The attached reversionary language applied to the parcel that the WIS 172 project impacted. Unfortunately, there is no legal description associated with this, but the consultant said it appeared in all the titles they had for Brown County.

Kathie, I didn’t find any stewardship funding in the “Preserve” area. I also talked to the Marty Kosobucki, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Director for the City of De Pere, and he stated that he didn’t know of any stewardship funding used for acquisition or development of the Preserve. He also thought that the stewardship sign was placed along the trail since there aren’t any designated trails/access on the Creamery Road parcel. The only stewardship funded parcel that may be affected, if you go with the southern route, would be the one on Creamery Road. If the Stewardship parcel along Creamery Road is affected by the project, then Section 4(f) comes into play. Let me know if you have any other questions! We are committed to service excellence. Visit our survey at http://dnr.wi.gov/customersurvey to evaluate how I did.

Bryan, Below is a summary of the known funding through Community Financial Assistance (CFA) There is Land and Water Conservation Funding, Stewardship Funding (Acquisition and Development of Local Parks (ADLP), ORAP (precursor to Stewardship) Urban Rivers (UR), and Recreational Trails Program (RTP) funding on both the East River Trail and Fox River State Trail. There is one parcel (Hutjens) along Creamery Road in the City of De Pere that is part of the Ashwaubenon Creek area that was acquired with Stewardship (Urban Green Space (UGS)) funding that depending on where the final road plan is, this property may be an issue – it is currently right on the edge of the buffer area. No known CFA funding associated with Kiwanis Park or the Lions Trailside Estates Park. If for some reason the final route changes for Alt. 2 and it comes closer to French Ct, there is a parcel on the south side of French Ct. that is part of the Southwest Park in the City of De Pere that was acquired with funding from Stewardship (Urban Green Space (UGS)). There could be Priority Watershed Grants in the project area that will need to be researched. This information is based on Alternatives 1 and 2 that were sent me via email on January 31, 2020. If you have any questions, please contact me. We are committed to service excellence. Visit our survey at http://dnr.wi.gov/customersurvey to evaluate how I did.
