32.015 HistoryHistory: 2017 a. 59.
32.015 AnnotationWhen read in context, the definition of pedestrian way in s. 346.02 (8) (a), and the limitations on condemnation in this section and s. 61.34 (3) (b), unambiguously exclude sidewalks. Accordingly, this section and s. 61.34 (3) (b) did not prohibit the village in this case from condemning property to build a sidewalk. Sojenhomer LLC v. Village of Egg Harbor, 2024 WI 25, 412 Wis. 2d 244, 7 N.W.3d 455, 21-1589.
