Today the City Council’s Transportation Committee endorsed a plan to legalize pedicabs in KCMO. Unfortunately the owners of the Country Club Plaza where able to get Councilmember Jan Marcason to carve out an exception for the Plaza. So pedicabs could soon be legal everywhere but the city’s most popular tourist neighborhood.

Please take a few minutes right now to email your own City Councilmember and ask them to support the pedicab ordinance when it comes to a vote of the full Council on Thursday. Then email Councilmember Marcason ask her to reconsider her position.

Expanded bicycling and alternative transportation are supported by many city policies, included many new green policies. So, why should the Plaza be any less green than the rest of the city?.
