Bruner and Cornwell are concerned about the construction of a service road that would go through part of the berm.
Cathie Bruner, right, and Karen Cornwell walk the berm where a proposed $400,000 construction project to build an 860-foot, 14-foot-wide service road is now on hold because cremated remains were buried there.
The new service road is being proposed because of the construction of the new visitor and education building, called the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Frautschi Center.
Karen Cornwell shows the proposed plans for a service road that would go through part of a berm where cremains of people who donated their bodies to science at UW-Madison were buried, at the Lakeshore Nature Preserve.
