Great Rivers Greenway is celebrating some really major improvements to the Centennial Greenway at the intersection of Delmar Blvd, McKnight, I-170, and the Centennial Greenway.

Great Rivers says:

Improvements to the intersection where the Centennial Greenway: Shaw Park to Olive crosses Delmar Blvd. are complete! Stop by to see the new intersection at a celebration on June 17, 2019! We’ll be on the greenway between 4:30 and 6:30 pm with some treats, maps and other greenway swag. Hope to see you then!

As you can see from the before and after photos below, the improvements in bicycle & pedestrian access through these difficult intersections are huge.

Crossing McKnight - Before & After

Looking for a great Bike Month volunteer opportunity?  The Missouri Bicycle & Pedestrian Federation is working with the Junior League of Kansas City and and Urban Neighborhood Initiative of Kansas City to give away hundreds of bikes to area kids who really need them--and will really use them.

How it works

The Junior League works with its partners to collect and repair about 100-200 used bikes.  As part of their Healthy Living KC Fair, produced in partnership with the Urban Neighborhood Initiative, they give away the bikes to neighborhood kids who really need them--and really use them.

Our job is to fit kids with helmets, match them to the right bike, adjust the bike to fit, and get them going on their new bike. We also send parents and kids on their way with same safe riding tips.

It takes a lot of volunteer power to give away all of those bicycles! If you can help, please volunteer--we really need the help, and it makes a big difference to many kids and many families.
