Audit finds KC bicycle transportation plan flawed

KC bike lanesKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A recent city audit is critical of Kansas City’s master bicycle transportation plan, saying that it doesn’t connect popular destinations and mostly hasn’t been constructed because of the plan’s many flaws.

The 22-page report says the Bike KC plan doesn’t have most of the recommended elements of a bicycle master plan. The audit says the master plan lacks design guidelines, goals and deadlines, meaning city planners cannot rely on Bike KC to incorporate bike lanes and other infrastructure into road projects.

The Kansas City Star reports city manager Troy Schulte agrees with the report’s conclusions and is calling for a complete rewrite of the 2002 bicycle plan.
