What if the much-loved and well-traveled Grant’s Trail extended into downtown Kirkwood? City leaders are starting a long-term planning process to explore that possibility. An extension would offer Kirkwood residents easy downtown access to Grant’s Trail with the potential to attract current trail users to our downtown shops and restaurants.
An initial exploratory study, currently underway, will establish the community’s vision and goals for the trail extension and determine the best route. In spring 2022, the proposed extension will be submitted for a federal grant to construct the preferred route that results from this process. There will be many challenges as the potential alignments could cross two privately-owned and operated railroads and travel through established neighborhoods and business areas.
Property owners along any of the potential routes will receive direct communication (postcard or letter) with more information and ways to provide feedback at this early stage of project development.
