Missouri Livable Streets training coming to Warsaw Sept 27th, Raytown Oct 10th

Cities across Missouri are adopting Complete Streets or Livable Streets policies to improve the safety and livability of their neighborhoods.  A livable street is one that allows residents of all ages and abilities to safely walk, bike, or wheel to their destinations.

Would you like to have YOUR city adopt a Complete Streets policy?

Two upcoming trainings will give you the tools you need to get Complete Streets/Livable Streets rolling in your community:
