The Wausau Area Metropolitan Planning Organization has prepared a long range comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian transportation plan for the Wausau Metropolitan Area.

The process of creating the Wausau MPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan began in June of 2007. A committee has been formed with representatives from each of the following municipalities: The cities of Wausau, Schofield, and Mosinee; the villages of Weston, Rothschild, and Kronenwetter; and the towns of Texas, Maine, Stettin, Wausau, Rib Mountain, Weston, Mosinee, and Bergen. In addition, a number of stakeholder organizations have also been participating: Wausau Wheelers, Wausau Area Runners Club, Friends of the Mountain Bay Trail, etc.

In August 2007 a consultant was selected to facilitate the creation of the plan. The MPO hired Schreiber/Anderson Associates, Inc. (SAA) from Madison. SAA is currently working with the Wausau Area MPO and its subcommittees, members of the public, and public officials to analyze current conditions, create a future vision, and develop implementation-oriented recommendations. The Plan is anticipated for completion by June 2008.
