If you are frustrated with the pace of adding bike lanes on the streets of Kansas City, you are not alone. The KCMO City Auditor has released a performance audit of “Bike KC” – the city’s 2001 bike plan, finding it was inadequate from the start and a series of challenges over the last 15 years have doomed its success. . . .

The audit recommends starting over with a new comprehensive bike master plan. Not only was the original plan inadequate, the field of bike planning has advanced tremendously since 2001.

MoBikeFed comment: BikeWalkKC is the lead bike/ped advocacy group in the Kansas City region, and has worked hard to build support in the city for a greatly improved citywide bicycle plan.

This Auditor's Report is an excellent opportunity to move that vision forward, and BikeWalkKC is leading the way.
