Kansas City’s Car Free Weekends on Cliff Drive are entering their third year and have been a very successful program. By removing cars from the drive on weekends, more citizens are able to enjoy bicycling and walking and crime has been reduced significantly. Now Kansas City is expanded on this successful program by creating the city’s first full-blown Sunday Parkways festival.” St. Louis is also expanding it’s ciclovia programming this summer. The Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation is working to bring ciclovia festivals to cities around Missouri. The state has gone from no Missouri ciclovia festivals in 2007, to one in 2008, and now seven planned for 2010. Learn more at MoBikePedFed.
