§ 32.015

32.015 Limitations. Property may not be acquired by condemnation to establish or extend a recreational trail; a bicycle way, as defined in s. 340.01 (5s); a bicycle lane, as defined in s. 340.01 (5e); or a pedestrian way, as defined in s. 346.02 (8) (a).History: 2017 a. 59.A sidewalk is a 'pedestrian way' as that term is used in this section and s. 61.34 (3) (b). The general definition of pedestrian way in s. 346.02 (8) (a) is broader than the definition of a sidewalk because a pedestrian way can—but need not—be adjacent to a roadway. In other words, the term pedestrian way includes both: 1) sidewalks, i.e., walks adjacent to a roadway for the use of pedestrian travel, as defined in s. 340.01 (58); and 2) all other walks designated for pedestrian travel that are not adjacent to a roadway, such as a walking path through a parcel of property.
