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:

Putting Grand Boulevard on a road diet is the best way to fatten up Kansas City’s reputation as a bike-friendly community.

Translated, we support the city’s plan to reduce the number of traffic lanes on the wide-open boulevard from the River Market to 20th Street, and then add dedicated lanes for bicycles going north and south. Computer modeling shows motorists would still have plenty of space to safely navigate the road.

The city proposal would use lots of paint to re-stripe the boulevard without making more costly physical changes.
