Jackson County starting work in 18-mile section of Rock Island Trail leading to the heart of Kansas City| FOX 4
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:
Efforts are underway to build a new 18-mile walk-bike trail on the east side of the metro.
The trail will begin at the Truman Sports Complex and head south through Raytown to Lee’s Summit, where it will connect to the Katy Trail.
Once built, you’ll be able to ride your bike from here all the way across Missouri to the St. Louis Arch.
It will run parallel to the old Rock Island Railroad tracks, which were laid back in the late 1800s.
Rock Island sold the tracks to Union Pacific, who last year sold them to Jackson County.
