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 Running Club, Friends of the Mountain Bay Trail, etc.

In August of 2007 a consultant was selcted to facilitate the creation of the plan.  The MPO hired Schreiber/Anderson Associates, Inc. (SAA) from Madison.  SAA worked 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.
