Despite much discussion with the bicycle community, MoDOT has decided not to include bicycle facilities on the upcoming widening of Route 150 in the southern suburbs. Not even a paved shoulder. Nothing but “share the road” signs on what will end up being a high-speed highway. They claim a “budget crunch” even though they are flush with Amendment 3 money and in the midst of the biggest road construction boom in the history of Missouri.

Again and again MoDOT continues to make bike/ped the first thing cut. It is time for this to stop. The Missouri Bicycle Federation has organized a campaign for 150 and needs your help. Please take 2 minutes to email MoDOT at www.mobikefed.org/Route150.
