Katy Trail to KC – Not Likely

Ken Midkiff

Not so fast. As usual, the devil is in the details and the details in the proposed Settlement Agreement (between the State and AmerenUE over the Taum Sauk Reservoir collapse) bode ill for any extension of the KATY Trail to the Kansas City area.

Consider:

1.The Rock Island Line - that AmerenUE does NOT own - was never "abandoned" and is therefore ineligible for the Rails to Trails designation.
