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:

A proposed biking and walking trail along Busch Creek got a preliminary thumbs up from the Washington City Council Monday night. . . .

The proposed path would start at Eighth and Jefferson streets and extend east all the way to the eastern entrance of the Rotary Riverfront Trail. The path will be both on and off city streets and follow the footprint of Busch Creek. . . .

Maniaci said the idea for the path comes from a 2011 study of a “bikeable/walkable” plan for the city. The Busch Creek area was targeted as an ideal area for a bike route.

MoBikeFed comment: Washington is a key trail connection statewide, as the Rock Island Trail and Katy Trail will connect at that point.
