Jefferson City working bit by bit to connect trail and greenway system via on-road connections | News Tribune

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:

With the help of a $150,000 recreation trail grant, Jefferson City hopes to extend trail access points for cyclists and pedestrians across the city next fall.

Grant recipients will be notified in mid-summer. If awarded, it would allow the city to stripe bike lanes on Miller Street to connect the Wears Creek Greenway on the west side of town with Community Park near Lincoln University — ultimately creating an access point to the MKT Trail.

The Miller Street bike lanes would close an existing gap between the greenways.
