RACINE — A portion of the Lake Michigan Pathway near the Racine Zoo has reopened after a yearslong journey to fight erosion and ensure safety for its users. The City of Racine announced Wednesday that the project, a restoration effort for the walking and biking path, is complete. The section of pathway was closed in August 2020 because of erosion following a series of storms that damaged the area, including a severe storm in January 2020 that impacted shorefronts along Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin and exposed the soil beneath the pathway.
