Volunteers are needed this week to count bicycle and pedestrian traffic at several locations around Kansas City. Collecting this data is critical to getting better facilities like bike lanes, trails, bridge access, sidewalks, etc. Please consider volunteering if at all possible. This is one of those times where your actions can have direct impact on making Kansas City more bicycle friendly.
