BikeMO--MoBikeFed's Fall Foliage Bicycle Ride Join us October 18th for BikeMO, the ride that supports bicycle advocacy in Missouri. Beautiful mid-Missouri roads, beautiful fall weather, beautiful fall leaves . . .
Send an email message in support of these issues in as little as two minutes:
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.
21 JUL 2007: Make STL's Hanley Road safer for walking and bicycling
Thursday, July 12, 2007
Ann Mack of TrailNet recently sent the following advocacy alert for those in the St. Louis region:
The St. Louis County Department of Highways & Traffic, in association with the cities of Brentwood, Maplewood, and Richmond Heights, have undertaken a study to develop a plan for the Hanley Road Corridor in central St. Louis County.
St. Louis County is now proceeding into the design phase of phase 1 of the project, which is the south portion between Hanley Industrial and Laclede Station Road. These plans call for an elevated interchange over Manchester road and widening from four to seven travel lanes from Hanley Industrial Court to approximately Laclede Station Road.
Note that no bicycle/pedestrian accommodations are currently planned.
Trailnet is advocating for the highest quality bicycle/pedestrian facilities along this corridor, especially to allow for safe and easy access to MetroLink stations at Manchester Rd. and Sunnen Dr.
We ask that you help us ensure bikeable/walkable communities by contacting:
