Advocacy:
Paseo Bridge Bike/Ped Access: MoDOT is building a new quarter billion dollar bridge in the heart of Kansas City. It could provide the first safe bicycle/pedestrian crossing of the Missouri River near downtown Kansas City. We've been working on this for years and now it's going to move or die forever in the next month or so.
Advocacy:
Hwy 45 Bike/Ped Access: MoDOT is building a new highway through Parkville, Missouri. Guess what--their plans for accommodating bicycling and walking are inadequate, plus they forgot to include any funding for them.
Advocacy:
Bicycling License Plate: Many other states have 'Share the Road with Bicycles' license plates. Why not Missouri, too? In 1 minute you can show your support.

St. Louis Area: Brentwood Blvd meeting Tuesday, 12/10/2002
Monday, December 09, 2002
Bob Foster forwarded this announcement:

The public can attend a meeting about the Manchester Road revitalization project at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Brentwood City Hall, 2348 South Brentwood Boulevard.

The project is a joint effort of Brentwood, Glendale, Kirkwood, Maplewood, Rock Hill and Warson Woods. These six municipalities hope to pool their resources and pay for improvement projects along Manchester. The effort began about four years ago.

Some of the projects under consideration include eliminating utility poles on Manchester, installing new curbing and sidewalks and adding more green space, storm-water sewers and street lighting.

Rock Hill Mayor Robert Salamone said, "The hope is to make this area more attractive and to make improvements to each community but to ensure that each community retains that special character."

The Legislature still must approve a plan that permits these municipalities to set up a special taxing district. Voters also would need to approve a sales-tax increase.

Salamone said that officials from each municipality would offer at the meeting an update on the revitalization plan.
