The process "often results in wide, high-speed arterials," because that's what the departments are most familiar with, the report said. Kansas and Missouri highway officials disagreed. Both states' transportation departments have staff members who work with local communities to develop pedestrian and bike paths, spokesmen said. Read the complete story on the Kansas City Star. |
