Boonville signage to help bicyclists around town

Boonville is planning to erect signs and maps showing bicyclists using the Katy Trail how to get around Boonville's business area:

The proposed plan calls for a kiosk to be built at the corner of Main and High St. it also calls for signs to be placed around town that would notify bikers of alternate routes. This would help funnel them to downtown businesses.The plan has many business owners around town hoping for more growth in the future.

"I've been here three years and seen the business from the Katy Trail stay the same, it could increase a lot," said Painter.

The city of Boonville hopes it'll catch up to neighboring communities once bicyclists know where to go.
