A Kansas City Star editorial encourages the creation of a link between the Kansas City area and the Katy Trail:
"There's incredible community interest in it," says Marlene Nagel of the Mid-America Regional Council, which is working closely with the state on the Katy extension.
The best plan for a Kansas City link is to create a trail along the old Rock Island Railroad line that runs northwest from Windsor — on the Katy Trail — to Pleasant Hill. State officials say they came close to getting that line donated by Union Pacific when it owned the property. . . .
The Katy Trail would be even more popular with Kansas Citians if it were more easily reached from the metro area. Converting the Rock Island line would be a huge community service.
