A new walking and biking trail is coming to Manitowoc. The Common Council approved awarding a bid to Vinton Construction at Monday’s meeting.
Mayor Justin Nickels said on WOMT’s Be My Guest program that the city got a state grant worth about $400,000 for public trails through the area of the old Manitowoc Elks Club.
He elaborated, saying the goal is to “connect the Mariners Trail to Lincoln Park.”
The owners donated 10 acres for the public trail which will be paved and lit.
Plus, there will be a pedestrian bridge that goes over the little Manitowoc River to connect to Lincoln Park.
The project will include a kayak launch to make the area a multi-activity facility.
