At the Kirkwood Trailhead Leffingwell & Holmes, another 2 miles was added on Street with Bike Saint Louis Signing, going through downtown Kirkwood by the Farmers Market, The Amtrak Station, then West to the Kirkwood Park, marked with information signs, Share the Road signs, and Sharrows painted on the street.
Great Commute to Grant's Farm
By Patrick D. Richmond in June, 2004
"Since gas prices continue to escalate, why go and fuel your car up when you can use the trail. It's a non-polluting way to get to work or to go to Grant's Farm for an outing or to go to Crestwood Mall for shopping or dining. And now it is fully paved all the way to Pardee Road, and there are plans to pave the rest of the trail to I-44. There are also future plans to link it up with a trail in Fenton."
