Project Status
In fall 2019, area residents were invited to attend a series of community open houses and online surveys to offer feedback on the design and possible amenities for each trail connection. Preliminary plans will be presented to each of the municipal boards in summer 2020 for approval. Once approved, the trail connections can advance to final design and then MoDOT will bid the shared use path for construction in 2021.
