MoBikeFed comment: This is a project that we have been working to build support for over two decades and that has been in planning for a decade. It is great to see Governor Nixon's commitment to completing this project before he leaves office in 2017. http://mobikefed.org/2015/09/major-katyrock-island-progress-gov-nixon-co...
