Detour In Effect On Trolley Trail

Posted on: Jan 05, 2012

Until further notice, a detour on the Trolley Track Trail between Troost and Woodland will be in effect. Pedestrians and bicyclists should use 85th Street instead of the trail. In late 2010, a hole was discovered in the trail east of Troost and south of 85th Street. Over the last year, KCATA hired consultants and geologists to investigate the cause of the sink hole and repair it. These repairs have been completed, but concerns still remain. There is a larger area of underground mines along the trail between Woodland and Troost. There is no evidence of an imminent collapse. However, until the area can be more thoroughly assessed, KCATA has created a detour and closed this section of trail in the interest of public safety. Barriers have been placed on the trail and signs will be installed to direct trail users to travel on the detour on 85th Street between Troost and Woodland.
