Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The City of St. Louis is searching for a Bike/Pedestrian Coordinator to help plan and respond to the needs of cyclists and pedestrians.

The coordinator will work to implement the Complete Streets Policy and help "achieve Mayor Francis Slay's goals for bike infrastructure, facilities and transportation as outlined in his Sustainability Action Agenda."

"A safe biking environment can provide visitors and tourists with a way to explore our great City through a different perspective," Traffic Commissioner Deanna Venker said. "For example, bike tours can offer a cultural experience; Jazz St. Louis partnered with Trailnet to host a bike tour of the City's musical history. Having a Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator will build these programs and facilitate more partnerships and opportunities for our citizens to engage in our communities."
