Amendments made to pending legislation that would allow utility vehicles on the cross-state Katy Trail State Park could increase already steep maintenance costs.

MoBikeFed comment: Last week we arranged for Reid Cranmer to meet with several key House & Senate leaders to present the petition against this bill signed by over 5000 opponents of the bill. Many thanks to everyone who has signed the petition or contacted your legislators.

We are hopeful that the bill will not move forward this year.
