Project Description: |
The intent of the project is to connect neighborhoods and destinations in the core of Kansas City, Kansas and to connect the cities of Kansas City, Kansas; Riverside, Missouri; North Kansas City, Missouri; and Kansas City, Missouri with a high quality pedestrian and bicycle network.
The KCK Greenway Urban Trail System entails planning for and implementation of an urban trail network serving the urban core of Kansas City, Kansas. The network would connect neighborhoods, parks, schools, retail areas, office areas, and the Fairfax Industrial District. The trail would connect to the US-169 bridge, which includes a trail connection to Riverside, Missouri. It also includes the Lewis and Clark viaduct trail, which connects to Kansas City, Missouri. Much of this network is already complete: The Lewis and Clark viaduct trail, the Jersey Creek trails, off street trails on 5th Street, the 10th Street bike lanes, and the Central Avenue sharrows are all completed.
