Maryville trails plans coming together

A Maryville Daily Forum article outlines recently progress in developing Maryville's citywide trails system:
With approximately $630,000 in grant funding, members of the Trail Committee are making plans for final review of trail design by the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The trail network was originally planned and a committee formed to provide hiking and biking access to all municipal parks and public schools in Maryville. . . .

The Mozingo trail portion is approximately 7,500 linear feet, while the Safe Routes portion is approximately 6,000 linear feet.

While the city has to wait for approval, Northwest Missouri State University announced plans to have their three sections of bicycle paths on the campus completed by late summer.

While the projects are separately funded, Lezlee Johnson, associate director of Environmental Services at Northwest, has been a part of the Trail Committee meetings from the beginning. The campus paths will eventually connect to the trail network the city is working on.
