Saturday June 6th is National Trails Day, and it will be celebrated locally with events at several metro area trails.  The Mid-America Regional Council has a list and map of local events.

An especially important event is a ceremony to dedicate the new bike/ped bridge over US 71 Hwy in southern Kansas City. The new bridge connects a trail along Hickman Mills Drive on the east of the highway with future trails extending to the Blue River and into the Kansas suburbs.  It is an important east-west link in the developing trail system in that part of the city.  The bridge was built as part of the Grandview Triangle reconstruction.
