The following is a list of Trails KC projects being considered for funding in the City's 2010-2011 budget.

• Connecting the Trolley Track and Indian Creek Trails in southern Kansas City

• Extending the Line Creek Trail in Platte County

• Constructing the Hodge-Smithville Trail's first segment in Clay County

• Designing the Van Brunt Trail on the East Side

• Building the Three Trails Corridor Trail along Bannister Road

Send a brief note in support of trail funding (KCMO mailing address required)

or learn more about the projects listed above.

If you wrote a letter in November 2009 there is no need to write again, but please forward this to your friends. Many 4th District residents have already written letters, so we really need support form the rest of the city - Northland, South of 85th, East of Troost, and Downtown.

These requests will be evaluated by PIAC, the Public Improvements Advisory Committee. PIAC is a citizens committee that advises the City Council on how to spend the half-cent sales tax for capital improvements.
