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:

A decades-old dream of connecting Kansas City with Missouri’s cross-state Katy Trail gained major momentum Wednesday when Jackson County and the area’s transit agency announced the purchase of a rail corridor from Lee’s Summit to near the Truman Sports Complex.

Should the $52 million deal go through, the new link would make it possible to someday hop on a bike almost anywhere in the metro area, connect to the new trail on existing paths and ride all the way to St. Louis.
