KC-area city plays up bicycle-friendly streets

Submitted by Brent Hugh on Wed, 06/30/2004 - 10:39pm
In a KCStar article Saturday, Shawnee, KS, officials played up their bicycle-friendly streets and recreational opportunities as one reason Shawnee is vital and growing:
Shawnee has seen a large spike in its population, with a 12.8 percent increase from 2000 to July 2003.

“We have highly desirable neighborhoods and the finest park system in the metropolitan area,” said City Manager Gary Montague, who moved to Shawnee 30 years ago to work for City Hall.

“We are a bicycle-friendly community with bike trails and on-street bike lanes.”
Shawnee is the only KC-area community to receive the Bicycle Friendly Community award (bronze level) from the League of American Bicyclists.
