I would like to see the Katy trail extended down to Appleton City, Missouri. I understand the MKT depot fully restored in town is one of the oldest in the state. I have hiked the entire route up to Clinton and very beautiful scenery. What would have to be done to extend down to us. We have a lot of sites and history to offer, specifically with the restored depot, MKT caboose, oldest library in the state and a beautiful historical district and museum. Please someone let me know what it takes to get it down to us. I think Nevada, MO would be onboard for it continuing the trail to them as well.

I don't have any pull other than just the voice of another 'common' citizen. That would be GREAT however, I know there's been talk of a trail connecting to bolivar somwhere, somehow which would then connect the Frisco Highline Trail that connects Springfield to Bolivar and THEN what a trail we'd have ! WOW.

thanks!!

Maybe you all need to hook up with the Rails to Trails Conservancy. They are in the business of helping with rails to trails conversions.

That would be great. I use the Katy trail for transportation to visit family in SW Missouri.

I currently ride the trails from Columbia to Clinton and then have to head south down 13
highway. The trail would be much more pleasant to say the least.
