The Kankakee Area Transportation Study (KATS) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is currently developing a new edition of the Greenways and Trails Plan. The Kankakee County Greenways and Trails Plan was last updated in 2009 and first created in 1999.

Overview

The objective of this plan is to guide future decisions regarding the development of trails and open lands in the region.

A full-fledged bicycle network serves to benefit the community in a multitude of ways. An extensive trail system can enhance the community through improved air quality, crime reduction, health promotion, increased property values, economic stimulation, and boost the overall perception of the community.
