🧵 KC advocates and supporters, BikeWalkKC needs your support to keep fighting for a community where people aren't required to "drive to thrive". 2025 has been a challenging year for nonprofits, so if you are in position to give, your gift will be very meaningful❤️

I'd missed that the KCI Corridor Trail officially opened, gotta make some time to go the whole way up to 112th! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEww...

Classic

The recent deaths of two children in the KC metro has folks asking what can we do to make it safe for kids to ride e-bikes and scooters. @bikewalkkc.bsky.social put together this piece to outline ways that parents, schools, and decision makers can effectively act. bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/10...

Despite the crummy weather (that I biked in to get to), the grand opening of the @kcstreetcar.org Main St Extension was full of energy. Good speakers and crowd. My (first of many to come!) ride back was great - there are a lot of panoramic views I hadn't imagined as you near downtown!

Today, history rolls forward. From River Market to UMKC, we move together, we grow together, we rise together. The #kcstreetcar Main St Extension isn't just new tracks, it's new connections, new opportunities, & a new chapter for our city. This is what it looks like when #wemovekc #letsride

For my #KCMO friends, the city is beginning efforts to develop a 3rd District Mobility Plan. Learn more, spread the word, and plan to attend the public meeting scheduled for October 27! bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/10...

KC Streetcar service is back with regular Saturday hours of 7am-1am. Let’s go! kcstreetcar.org/service-susp...

New bike infra exploration, I biked up to the end of the new 152 Trail north extension. Very pretty and connects the Line Creek all the way up to Ambassador! Only a few miles from my dream Prairie View/London Ave airport trail.

Turns out the new 27th paint is just for an eastbound lane. There's a sharrow marking up the hill for westbound. Hopefully the new lanes gets some protection because there were already cars parked in it.

🚨RIDER ALERT🚨 9/8-9/14, #kcstreetcar service will be temporarily suspended due to maintenance activities that are needed prior to the Main Street Extension opening. Bus service will be deployed & operate with regular streetcar hours and levels of service. kcstreetcar.org/service-susp...

For my bike/pedestrian #advocacy friends: here's a great opportunity to tell USDOT directly to prioritize our issues! Feel free to share: bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/08...

If you're in KC, please fill this MARC survey out! It's a few questions then an interactive map where you can highlight desired bike/ped routes. At the moment some troll named "Ben S" is slandering all the bike infrastructure. His comments could use some more counterpoint replies.

Bunch of server racks and power delivery by the dumpsters at 22nd and Grand if anyone is looking for free network equipment

The U.S. DOT is asking for public input on the next big transportation bill that will shape funding and policy through 2031. This is your chance to tell Secretary Duffy what YOU think should be prioritized. Check out our latest blog for tips on what to write: bikeleague.org/the-u-s-depa...

As I hoped, new cycle track on 27th extending from Gillham. No connection to the Main streetcar lanes for one block though. Also, heading west on 27th at Gillham will require two crossings. Still nice to be getting this!

Stop parking in the bike lane!

What will you be doing 3 months from today? We suggest hopping on the #kcstreetcar fora. ride from the River Market to UMKC. Let's ride, #KC. @umkc.bsky.social kcstreetcar.org/grand-opening/

Biking back from Sk8bar from a show at 11:30pm and saw 1 scooter and 3 bikes (separate groups of 1 and 2) on Gillham lanes. Bike infrastructure is crucial!

Just found out about ithis (thanks to @bikewalkkc.bsky.social), 31st Street streetscape project open house at AbilityKC 5:30-7:00 today. www.kcmo.gov/Home/Compone...

Missouri Governor Kehoe vetoed funding for Public Transportation. In the upcoming veto session in September we have a chance to override this and restore funding. Please help us overturn this veto by emailing your reps using this form below. Tell them you want funding restored!

In states without policies to drive renewable energy, power prices could surge as federal tax incentives for clean energy disappear, according to Energy Innovation, a think tank.

Didn't take any pictures at the meeting, but the plan for SW Blvd cycletrack extension from 19th/Grand to Broadway looks great! Potential for NKC style concrete jersey barriers too. The project will coincide with repaving next Spring.

📢 Public Meeting: Kansas City leaders need to hear from cyclists! Monday, July 7 come-and-go 5:30-7pm at Drexel Hall 3301 Baltimore Ave. Let the city know you support cyclist & pedestrian safety, stick around to roll with us (~6:30pm) on a tour of existing bike lanes. www.strava.com/routes/33770...

The KC Streetcar Authority, along with partners KCMO & KCATA, have issued an RFP for an 18th & Vine Streetcar study. Interested firms can learn more here. kcstreetcar.org/rfq-rfp/ Proposals are due by 2PM July 16.

Your eyes are not deceiving you, you are seeing red along the #kcstreetcar Main Street Extension. Last night, crews started painting the red lines that will delineate the transit-only lanes. Work will continue overnight for several weeks along the entire corridor.

Looks like we're getting an extension of 27th lanes from Gillham to Main! Only on one side so maybe cycle track?

Credit where it's due, KCPD's offroad vehicle enforcement seems to be a huge success. ATV activity is almost non-existent. Zero activity during a nice FF last night.

@kcstreetcar.org Looks like someone broke the new shelter glass 😔

Didn't realize the Harrison Parkway lanes would be protected, great surprise! The link to Gillham could be better, but it's a good connection.

Southwest Boulevard improvements meeting today showcasing some great upgrades! Supposed to start soon!

Lots of people biking up Gillham to the Current game!

27th freshly paved, will we be getting a west extension of the 27th bike lanes?

@bikewalkkc.bsky.social and our partners are opposing this ordinance, but we need your help. If you live in #KCMO, send an email to City Council. If you live outside the city, sign the petition on our page. (8/8) bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/05...

Friendly reminder that setting your username as your domain is a great way for orgs to self-verify (as I imagine blue checks will take a while to roll out). Very easy to do! @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social @bikewalkkc.bsky.social @kcbierco.bsky.social @kcdc.bsky.social @thepitch.bsky.social

We did it, Kansas City! 🎉🚊 The #kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension is nearing track completion after only 14 months of construction. Come celebrate with us on the Riverfront on April 22 (Earth Day) at 3pm. riverfrontkcstreetcar.com/kc-streetcar... #RollingtotheRiver

Attention Midtown #KC: mill & overly work for the #kcstreetcar Main St Extension starts today on Main btwn 34th - Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd. Stay alert for changes in traffic patterns & work crews in the area. Work is anticipated to continue through the spring. More info at buildkcstreetcar.com.

For over two decades, Kansas City’s assets have not kept pace with its liabilities. This means it relies on future revenue to meet ongoing obligations. The downward trend suggests that, without a policy shift, this will get worse.
