Nice, but they have incredibly wide streets downtown compared to our roads. Ideal for adding a bike lane.

That urban network will eventually interface with the eastern end of the Katy Trail. And Amtrak with RORO service. very awesome.

I recall reading a blog from STL where the blogger claimed they couldn't have bike infrastructure because there streets were too wide.
It was a WTF? moment.
It's the center of the country. I think it's wonderful.
When are we going to link up the GAP and the Katy?

We rode the Katy in the spring. It's awesome. Cool Fact: the railroad abandoned the Katy route because of the frequent periodic flooding. The area still floods in a major way. The locals repair the trail quickly, and they've embraced the trail economy in a big way. On the eastern end of the Katy, they'er developing what they call the Missouri Rhine Valley - B&B's and wineries.
