It’s Happening!

Thanks to the providing of seed money, the Rock Trail Coalition was successful in urging the City of Beloit to pave the remaining 600′ of Peace Trail inside Big Hill Park! Project will be done soon!

The Rock Trail Coalition is having an interesting year! Here are a few of the highlights:

• With the changes to the trails since the last map printing, the RTC was instrumental in supporting the printing of new maps to reflect recent additions!
• On April 11th Mocha Moment held a coffee event that raised $1,523 for RTC.
• After a successful membership drive this spring we now have over 100 paid memberships!
• Our not for profit status helped the Leadership Development Academy pass through over $15,000 for the “Stretch Out Stress” equipment in Janesville.
•  We purchased a new brush mower jointly with the Janesville Velo Club.
•  RTC has committed a $20,000 donation toward the county effort to pave the Peace Trail from Tripp Road to Big Hill Park.
• We hired a landscape architect from Madison to develop a plan to close the Peace Trail gap from Big Hill Park into the City of Beloit.  That study is the basis for current negotiations with Rock County, the Town of Beloit, and the City of Beloit to apply for a DOT grant to help bring that to a reality in the next few years.
• We held our second annual Peace Trail 25k Time Trial on August 29th. Cyclists competed on the hilly route from Afton to Hanover.  With our generous sponsors we raised $837 for RTC.

What’s next on our Wish List?!

• Please remember to support us! All these projects require money and many come to reality because the RTC has provided seed money. Make sure that your friends are aware of our organization and support us! In addition, please consider joining our club. In numbers is strength!
