The nation’s longest rail-to-trail conversion is about to get even longer.

Gov. Jay Nixon announced Thursday that a 47-mile stretch of the Rock Island Trail, from Windsor to Pleasant Hill, would be added to the existing Katy Trail by the end of 2016, bringing the already lengthy stretch of trail up to 287.5 miles across Missouri. . . .

“Protecting and extending the Katy Trail has been one of my priorities as governor and, quite frankly, throughout my career in public service,” Nixon said. “The bottom line is these are great opportunities for all.”
