The primary purpose of this recreation plan is to provide continued direction toward meeting the current and future recreation needs of the county. This is accomplished through an inventory and analysis of outdoor recreational facilities, and the establishment of recommendations to meet identified needs.
Federal transit law requires that any projects selected for funding under the Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (formerly titled Elderly and Disabled Capital Assistance Program) must be derived from a “locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan”. This requirement was implemented as part of the SAFETEA-LU legislation and the requirement continues under the new transportation legislation, MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century). The purpose of the coordinated planning process is to have stakeholder involvement in the assessment of elderly and disabled transportation, and to provide strategies and goals to improve those transportation alternatives. These coordinated plans were last completed in 2008 and are due to be updated in 2013.
The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 mandates that mitigation plans be accomplished for all incorporated units of government as well as Native American tribes and updated on a five year cycle. Although Vilas County collaborated with the Lac du Flambeau Tribe on the development of a joint hazard mitigation plan in 2008, this 2013 plan is considered the County’s initial All Hazards Mitigation Plan by FEMA. The first update to this plan will be due in 2018. An approved mitigation plan is required for a jurisdiction to be eligible for certain federal mitigation funding following a disaster. In addition, if a major disaster strikes a jurisdiction without an approved plan, FEMA will require the jurisdiction to complete a plan.
This plan is intended to guide the development of an interconnected bikeway and pedestrian system for Vilas County, Wisconsin. The Vilas Area Silent Sports Association (VASSA), in conjunction with the local area trail groups around the County, prepared this plan to establish a fresh blueprint for its efforts and the efforts of other agencies and organizations with interest in trails and routes within the County. The trails and routes recommended within the plan will connect people to destinations such as employment centers, schools, residential districts, recreation areas and commercial retail areas (downtowns and surrounding shopping areas). This plan incorporates interconnection with neighboring communities and various destinations outside of the County.
