Nature's Lane trail update

The Nature's Lane trail has been getting a lot of press coverage lately. Homeowner's opposed to the trail had petitioned the DNR for an injunction and were denied last month. The homeowners then received a restraining order from Waupaca County (since one of the homeowners is an Outagamie County supervisor, it was removed from the Outagamie County Courts)

The town then responded back with a counter suit and asked the hearing to be moved up. Today, the town administrator and lawyer met before the judge.

According to the Circuit Court Clerk, the judge denied the plaintiff's request for a temporary injunction and dissolved the temporary restraining order.

However, The Plaintiffs can still pursue a permanent injunction at trial. They can also pursue money damages. No trial date has been set.

According to Administrator Jim March, trail work will proceed tomorrow.
