KCStar on Kansas City's first Missouri River crossing
posted by Brent Hugh at 8/27/2006 09:09:00 AM
The Kansas City Star today has an article on the efforts of the Missouri Bicycle Federation in cooperation with local advocacy and civic groups to support Kansas City first bicycle/pedestrian accessible Missouri River crossing:
The new Paseo Bridge is planned to last into the next century. But local critics say it’s being planned with the last century in mind.

With gas prices soaring and global warming in the headlines, cyclists and other civic interests say the new Missouri River crossing should be about more than just the car.

They have flooded the Missouri highway department with hundreds of letters pleading for a separate lane for bikes and pedestrians on the Paseo Bridge, which could be replaced with twin bridges or a single structure. . . .

Also calling for a bike lane are the Kansas City Council, the Port Authority of Kansas City and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
