Great Rivers Greenway is working with a variety of public agencies, local governments and bicycle advocates to develop the St. Louis Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) which will cover St. Louis and St. Charles Counties and the City of St. Louis.
The goal of the BMP is a more connected region where more citizens ride their bikes safely to work, for shopping, for school and to the off-road network of trails and regional parks. We are really excited about this project and what it will do for the entire community. Our approach will be to work with experts and the public to identify specific on-street bicycle routes that function as part of the overall transportation system so actions in one community complement those in another and we are all moving together to implement a regional network. That is a very brief explanation but hopefully enough to give you a sense of what we are doing.
More information on the BMP is at www.stlbikeplan.com. The project is just getting underway and one of our first steps is to establish the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The CAC will be assisting our team throughout the process and we are very interested in getting citizens from throughout the region to participate and not necessarily everyday bicycle users. It is important that we identify a system of on-streets bicycle routes that users with various levels of experience would be comfortable riding.

Missouri has been ranked among the worst states for animals. The "Humane State Rankings," compiled by the Humane Society of the United States, were a first for the nation's largest animal protection organization. Missouri received a score of 17 out of a total possible score of 65.
Each state's score was based upon the strength of laws in 65 categories. There were ten major animal protection areas considered, including: animal fighting; animal cruelty; puppy mills; use of animals in research; equine protection; wildlife abuse; factory farming; fur and trapping; exotic animals; and companion animal laws.
