That’s a bad road to ride. There are plans to put down marked bike lanes on Kansas Ave. This year, from Walnut Lawn to north of Battlefield, and next year from Walnut Lawn south, then across KS Expressway to Chesterfield going west. That might help. (Here’s a map .)

IT IS REALLY DOABLE UNTIL YOU GET TO KANSAS EXPWY. WEST OF THERE IT IS REALLY SKINNY 2 LANE WITH NO SHOULDER. YOUR OPTIONS ARE NORTH OR SOUTH ON KANSAS OR BECOM A MOVING OBSTACLE FOR OVER A MILE AS YOU TRY TO LINK UP WITH A SHOULDER OR TRAIL. WITH ITS PROXIMITY TO THE GREEN WAY IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO LINK IT SOMEHOW. NOW I JUST USE IT TO LINK UP TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS TO THE NORTH OF WALNUT LAWN WHICH EVENTUALL GET TO THE GREENWAY,( ONCE YOU CROSS BATTLEFIELD AND SUNSET)

There is more to come as Springfield moves toward the next level of “Bicycle Friendly Community!” Check out http://letsgosmart.org/#bike.
