A new hike and bike trail opened Saturday on the levee just west of 18th and Kansas Avenue in Kansas City, Kan.
This is the first of many soon to come hike and bike trails that go close to the river on the levee.
“We are very excited about this opening, if it wasn’t for the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kaw Valley drainage district working together, it would’ve not happened,” Mayor Mark Holland said. “The trail is a mile and a half long and it goes right next to the river making this trail one of the most scenic trails in our community. Hopefully within two years we will have everything completed.”
The trails are scenic and give residents a good reason to exercise, he said.
“This is part of our healthy city campaign that all of our commissioners have endorsed, including me,” Mayor Holland said.
These trails are designed to be family friendly. With more trails coming soon, Kansas City, Kan., will be a healthier community overall.
