"One of my top priorities as Governor has been to improve and expand our outstanding state park system and give Missouri families and visitors even more ways to enjoy the outdoors," Gov. Nixon said. "At a time when other states were closing state parks or charging entrance fees, here in Missouri we worked hard to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities by expanding access to affordable outdoor recreation. This extension of the nationally-recognized Katy Trail will continue to provide Missourians and visitors alike with an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Show-Me State."

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.
