MoBikeFed comment: Find out more about the Lee's Summit Greenway Trail System, including the master plan and a trails map, here:Lee’s Summit’s greenway master plan was developed by Parks & Rec in 1998 with a goal of protecting open space while serving recreational trail users. A 38-mile loop is planned to include Lee’s Summit, Grandview, Kansas City and several rural areas with more than 100 miles of linked neighborhood connector routes also in the works within parks and along roadways and stream corridors.
Of the 38-mile loop, 16.3 miles are planned within Lee’s Summit, Snook said, with 6.2 miles of the Lee’s Summit trails currently complete. In addition to the trails included in the loop, the city also offers 16.7 miles of park trails, 39.3 miles of shared-use paths and 21.1 miles of bike loops as well as 15.4 miles of on-road bike routes that include signage.
A noteworthy addition to the network is the Rock Island Trail, which has been open for use since 2019, Snook said. . . .
Additional trails are in the works in several areas. Parks and Recreation staff members are working with private developers and consultants to create a park and trails master plan for the Mouse Creek corridor in southern Lee’s Summit. . . .
Plans for Lower Banner Park include the addition of a trail and other park improvements.
