Greenline KC - a 10 mile trail loop around downtown Kansas City

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:

Greenline KC is a proposed 10-mile urban trail loop around greater downtown, connecting neighborhoods, showcasing art, and encouraging discovery.

Offering recreation and outdoor amenity spaces, Greenline KC will create a stage for neighborhoods along the loop to express themselves along the path, fostering cross-cultural interaction and appreciation.  Over the past decade, other cities have developed similar concepts: the High Line in New York, the Beltline in Atlanta, the Underline in Miami, the 606 in Chicago. . . .

As a safe and beautiful urban path, Greenline KC will encourage people to get out, to walk, to exercise and meet their neighbors. As a pedestrian path, you'll see KC from a new perspective -- under bridges, along parks, next to buildings, overlooking cliff sides. From art districts, to historic neighborhoods, to heritage trails, it will be a new way to explore the core of our city.

MoBikeFed comment: The eastern leg, along The Paseo, is already funded and nearing construction, planned for 20267:
