MoBikeFed comment: Branson is in the middle of one of the biggest Complete Streets transformations we have seen in Missouri--a project to turn five miles of Highway 76 through Branson--which holds most of the area's tourist attractions and is currently a traffic and pedestrian nightmare--into an attractive, "Complete Streets" version of the Branson strip.

It will be exciting to see this project, which has been in development for several years already, roll out over the next couple of years.

It is going to set a high bar for other tourism-related cities and towns across Missouri!
