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:

Overland Park has set a high bar that other cities should try to meet or exceed in expanding bicycle networks metrowide.

The leaders of the progressive suburb this week approved an ambitious but achievable plan to add more than 260 miles of bike-friendly lanes over the next few decades.

In addition, many more signs will be posted to alert motorists to the bicyclists and to the fact that everyone needs to share the road. Yes, that especially includes motorists throughout our car-centric region.

This is an excellent way to make bicycling safer which, in turn, will encourage more bikers to feel comfortable using city streets.
