A panel of experts from Kansas and Missouri discusses ongoing efforts to develop MetroGreen, a system of nature areas, greenways, and trails throughout the Kansas City area. The panel includes Mark McHenry, Director of Kansas City Parks, Recreation, and Boulevards; Greg Ruether, Director of Parks Services for the City of Overland Park; and Janet Snook Bartnik, Director of Liberty Parks and Recreation. Tom Jacobs, director of environmental programs at the Mid-America Regional Council, opens the program with an overview of the MetroGreen system and its contemplated 1,144 mile network. The discussion and a subsequent open forum is moderated by noted pedestrian Henry Fortunato, the Library's director of public affairs. The program is co-presented by the Mid-America Regional Council, and co-sponsored by the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department, City of Overland Park, Liberty Parks and Recreation, Bridging the Gap, and BikeLife Kansas City.
