Four new multi-use trails in Platte County

Tuesday, May 06, 2003

According to a recent issue of the Platte County Parks and Recreation Explorer (PDF format), four new trails are planned or under construction in Platte County, in the northern part of the Kansas City metro area:

Weston Bluffs Trail
The Weston Bluffs Trail begins at the Weston Train Depot and stretches for about 3.2 miles before reaching its end near Highway 45 and Beverly Road. Along the way, the route presents scenic views of Fort Leavenworth, or early fall 2003. The project is already deep into the master planning process and cost estimation for trail construction is underway.

64th Street Trail
Planning is nearing completion for the 64th Street Trail, located west of Interstate 29 linking Kansas City, Mo. and Parkville, Mo. The trail alignment for the two-mile route has been pre-liminarily approved and is set for construction in summer or fall 2003.

Prairie Creek Greenway
The Prairie Creek Greenway is an eight-mile trail located south of Platte City along the Prairie Creek corridor. Construction could begin in early 2004.

Missouri Riverfront Trail
The Missouri Riverfront Trail will follow the Missouri River corridor along the southern boundary of the county, beginning at the Clay County line and running northwest to Interstate 435.
