Are the two that are being worked on the most Swope and Shawnee Mission? I rode that dead end off shoot down in Shawnee. That looked pretty sick.

There's plenty of work going on at all of the trails!
The Blue-Swope connection is going to eventually connect BuRP to Swope. Swope and the Connection have the most ambitious plans right now as far as adding trails thanks to the generous amounts of land we've been given to work with.
Shawnee Mission has two different projects going on, one being a free ride area (dirt jumps, ladder bridges, table tops, and a bunch of other stuff i don't know the proper names for). The other project is expanding the current mountain biking trails out there to extend a lot farthur north than they currently do.
BuRP and Landahl are in maintenance phases trying to do alot of repair work more than creating new trails at the moment, however a free ride area is in the works for Landahl too.
Smithville seems to always be expanding... those guys up north seem to constantly be doing something.
The WyCo trails are currently being headed up by the trailmasons, a group of trailrunners, with the earthriders helping out where possible. I'm not sure what they're up too exactly, but they have something planned for later on this month if you want to join in.
Not sure about the other trails, but as you can see, there's plenty of building/maintaining going on in the area. Building is usually done during organized work days, but a lot of maintenance work (like weedeating) is done whenever someone has free time and has permission from the trail manager, so however you want to get involved, the help is always appreciated.
