BikeWalkKC - new bicycle & pedestrian advocacy organization in Kansas City
BikeWalkKC, a new organization to advocate for bicycling and walking in the great Kansas City metro area, was unveiled last week. Here is BikeWalkKC's first public announcement:

Full disclosure: MoBikeFed has seen the lack of an active bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization in Missouri's largest city and second largest metro area as one of the biggest missing pieces in the state's advocacy picture.
For that reason, in Summer 2010, the Missouri Foundation for Bicycling and Walking applied for and received an Advocacy Advance grant from the Alliance for Biking and Walking, funded by SRAM, which gave a startup matching grant for the new Kansas City metro organization--now called BikeWalkKC.
Foundation is acting as the fiscal sponsor for BikeWalkKC during its first year. By the end of the time, BikeWalkKC will be an independently established organization with full-time staff, taking primary responsibility for bicycle and pedestrian advocacy and programming across the Kansas City metro area.
MoBikeFed and the Missouri Foundation for Bicycling and Walking remain committed to providing the best possible advocacy and programs for bicycling and walking on a statewide basis in Missouri.
Helping establish and maintain healthy local and metropolitan area advocacy organizations is one of the most important keys to making that happen and helps sustain one of the primary goals of MoBikeFed's Vision for Bicycling and Walking in Missouri: to help build a strong and sustainable movement for bicycling and walking in Missouri.
