MO 92 connects the northern Metro area around KCI Airport to the growing community of Smithville. This area continues to grow residentially and commercially. As well, this corridor is used daily to travel to and from the Platte City and KCI areas. As the region develops, it is anticipated that not only will capacity of vehicular traffic increase, but also freight traffic. An increase of bicycle traffic is expected as those looking for new biking experiences would migrate to this new opportunity. The trail could be connected in the future to proposed trails a Smithville Lake.
