KC Northland area begins ambitious trail-building plan

The Kansas City Star reports that several counties north of the river in the Kansas City area are embarking on an ambitious bike/hike trail-building program. Many smaller-scale trails already exist, but the new plan is to make "trail arterials" that link one area to another and one trail to another.

Just a few of the first trails will be built this summer. The final result will be an elaborate, interlinked network of trails.

The KCStar article gives a nice summary of quite a number of new trails that will be built in this area next summer.
