Kansas City, MO Loses Its Bike Friendly Community Designation | BikeWalkKC

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:

Last month the League of American Bicyclists released their latest list of Bicycle Friendly Communities, and Kansas City, MO was conspicuously absent from the list. KCMO has been a Bronze Bike Friendly Community for several years, and the designation was up for renewal in 2015.

According to the League, the City did not submit an application for renewal, a very basic task that cities need to do every four years. This is very disappointing news and a big setback for the City’s goal of becoming a Platinum Level Bike Friendly Community by 2020. BikeWalkKC worked with the Public Works Department and other city officials during 2015 to assist in the renewal process, but we do not know why Public Works chose not to apply for renewal.
