Rock Island Trail - Jackson County segment Grand Opening Saturday, completing statewide trails vision

Wed, 07/07/2021 - 7:00am

Grand Opening for the final section of the Rock Island Trail in Jackson County is Saturday, July 10th, 2021, 10am at the Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City. Details below.

This is the last big piece of the statewide Katy-Rock Island trail system we've been envisioning for more than 25 years. There are, as always, some gaps in the system - but in the grand outline, this is it.

With the completion of this westernmost section of the Rock Island Trail, Missouri now has 376.5 miles of (almost) seamlessly connected trail stretch from (almost) state line to state line and connecting communities with millions of residents along the way.

This is as truly monumental accomplishment, and one many decades in the making.

We've made a major update to our resource page that is designed to help you plan your next bicycle tour, bicycle route--whether it's for a afternoon's ride, a weekend, or a week--bikepacking or gravel tour, or trip on a Missouri bicycle trail.

We've added a section with detailed information about finding services, food, lodging, and camping along your route.

Visit the full Resources for planning Missouri bicycle and trails trips and routes page here.

Here is the new information about finding lodging, camping, food, and services when you are planning your Missouri bicycle tour or trip:

Finding Camping, Lodging, Services, and Supplies

Finding a place to stay, a place to eat, supplies, and services is a lot easier now than it once was. But still, finding the best places is not all that easy. And particularly in rural Missouri, the best places may not be easy to find online.

Here are some tips and available resources:

Key U.S. House Transportation Bill passes, including numerous amendments affecting bicycling, walking, trails, parks, and equity

Fri, 07/02/2021 - 1:59pm

The League of American Bicyclists has posted an article summarizing the INVEST in America Act, a major transportation bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. Congress is planning to pass the federal transportation bill--updated every six years and setting U.S. transportation policy and funding for the next six-year period--by September.

On Thursday morning, the House of Representatives passed the INVEST in America Act, a key bill in the transportation reauthorization process that contains a massive $715 billion investment in surface transportation. . . . The League supported its passage because INVEST includes a significant expansion of funding for pedestrian and bicycle projects, and notably includes a national Complete Streets policy plus safety improvements. . . . Its next step in the reauthorization process will be a conference committee with the Senate version of a similar bill.
