Bike-In Restaurant Proposed for Wisconsin Rail-Trail
Bike-In Restaurant Proposed for Wisconsin Rail-Trail -
Although the proposal is still in the exploratory phase and Berge has not yet applied for any permits, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz is supportive of the idea, which could prove popular among the 2,600 trail users who pass by the spot each day, according to a September 2008 trail survey. Having trail-oriented development along the path would make it an even more popular route. Photo of Southwest Commuter Path by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.
A grassy area owned by the city and state Department of Transportation along the Southwest Commuter Path, a popular rail-trail in Madison, Wis., is the proposed site for a bike-in restaurant. Local restaurateur Chris Berge proposes "The Badger Den," a seasonal facility that would be inaccessible by car, serve local products and produce zero trash.
If they served Ice Cream and Beer, my Wife and I would be happy campers.
