The vision

A path for walking, discovery, and connection across neighborhoods.

Offering recreation and outdoor amenity spaces, Greenline KC will create a stage for neighborhoods along the loop to express themselves, fostering cross-cultural interaction and appreciation.

As a safe and beautiful pedestrian path, it encourages people to get out, walk, exercise, and meet their neighbors — a new way to explore the core of Kansas City.

Outdoor amenity

A public path with recreation and greenspace woven into everyday city life.

Neighborhood expression

Room for neighborhoods along the route to express their culture, identity, and character.

A new civic perspective

Walk the route and see Kansas City differently — through parks, bridges, overlooks, and heritage trails.

From Kaw Point and the East Bottoms to 18th and Vine, Union Station, and the Rock Island Bridge, the route ties together movement, access, and discovery.
