Maryville, Missouri, continues to move forward as one of the most progressive small communities in creating a bicycle friendly community.
Recently a bond proposal was approved by area voters--receiving over 60% approval--to help move the area trails system forward.
In a pre-election article, the St. Joseph News-Press described the part of the bond proposal relating to trails:

In a pre-election article, the St. Joseph News-Press described the part of the bond proposal relating to trails:
Officials have expressed interest in developing a network of multipurpose trails, in a connection that would link in-city trails with other paths in the Mozingo Lake area. The entire plan would encompass more than 50 miles and include Maryville's parks and schools. A total of $700,000 from the tax would be used as leverage in grant applications for trail construction. The city has already received more than $600,000 in grants to help build about two and a half miles of trails in the fall.
The city is discussing the trails project with the Missouri Department of Transportation, which has offered $620,000 toward development.
