RE: Menominee Park Trail Update
Last week I met with Mr. Michelson and Steve Dittmer, Civil Engineer with the City of
Oshkosh, at Menominee Park to inspect trail sections located in areas of the park where there
are drainage issues. This results in sections of the trail north of Melvin Avenue, as well as
open green spaces, to experience ponding of water throughout the year.
During our site inspection, it was noted that even though the trail is showing some signs of
distress, it's really not in that bad of condition for being 25+ years old. Mr. Dittmer believes
that any work on the trail to correct sags and dips will not solve the drainage issue. We
discussed that the issue more likely could be addressed by installing drain tile on the street
side (west side) of the path to collect the water before it gets to the trail. The drain tile could
potentially be connected to existing storm sewer outfall pipes in those areas to divert much of
the water before it becomes an issue on the trail.
The 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $50,000 in 2021 for Menominee
Park Trail Improvements. This funding was intended for repairing some of the worst sections
of trail as well as potential new trail connections. I am working with the City Engineering and
Storm Water staff to get a cost estimate to install drain tile in those heavily affected areas and
will be recommending to the Advisory Parks Board inclusion of this project in the 2021 CIP. A
recommendation from your committee to the Board indicating your support for the project is
appropriate and appreciated.
