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.

The settlement between the state of Missouri and AmerenUE on damages for the Taum Sauk disaster includes an agreement for the most problematic connection needed to "complete the Katy Trail"--the 46-mile section of the Rock Island Railroad between Windsor and Pleasant Hill.

Over 5000 Missourians wrote the Department of Natural Resources and the Attorney General in support of the Katy Trail Connection.

Now they need to hear from us again during a 30-day public comment period before a judge issues a ruling approving or disapproving the proposed agreement.

Comments need not be long, but you should include your name and address as well as a statement that you support including the Katy Trail Connection in the Taum Sauk settlement.
