City and railroad clash over Prairie Spirit Trail extension
City officials seek federal approval to extend the Prairie Spirit Trail from the Marais des Cygnes River to the Old Depot Museum. Burlington Northern Santa Fe endorses the project but negotiates terms including a $3,000 appraisal and rail bed transfer. City faces uncertain costs for railbanking the abandoned track and completing crossings while weighing a separate Missouri Pacific right of way proposal.
