To me, it would be worthwhile to get a shuttle to St. Louis or Kirkwood, I am not that comfortable riding on city streets. Probably cost about $30. The trail currently ends at Clinton on the western side.

You can get to St Louis by taking the Page Ave extension. Access is right off the Katy trail. Once across the Missouri River there are multiple ways to get to St Louis. It just depends on where in St Louis you want to go. I liver in the city and ride all the time. Its safe

Here is a link to directions for getting from the KATY to the Kirkwood Amtrak station:

If you can use the Kirkwood Amtrak station that is approx 25 miles riding. You will be on some pretty busy streets and there are quite a few turns. I routed it on veloroutes and it looks like eleven streets. Its all suburban riding. It's almost the same number of miles to ride to the downtown Amtak station but you will be going through some neighborhoods that might make some people uncomfortable. I've ridden them without incident. Its a simpler route with less streets and turns. Basically you'd just come in over Olive.
