Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit

This isn't going to be a TDD project. There will have to be city/county/state money. And why should I vote for that when I’m already paying for rail transportation in my neighborhood through property tax? So many people think streetcar supporters will keep voting for expansion. They won’t if they d...

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit

This line also would be the line in 20 or 30 years to get extended to Raytown or Lee's Summit. I really want a future growth and extendability mindset. Hard pass for me! I have zero reason to ever go to Raytown or Lee’s Summit and I’m sure not going to pay for rail for the suburbs when they didn’t ...

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit

RE normalthings vs. Chris disagreement. I'm with you normalthings, on the idea that there might be more objective potential of Linwood as a ROW especially for higher capacity/speed line. If that's even on the table I'd say Linwood has the merit of allowing it. But if it's basically another curb run...

I think they’ve been clear at the presentation and since kick off that rail would need more than a TDD

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit

I would like us to look at the Omaha model of extending existing TIF’s and directing those funds to rail transit cap-ex. You mean add years to the existing streetcar property tax to fund E-W? What TIFs specifically? downtown /urban core developments with TIF they extended the expiration of those TI...

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit

$450-600 million for Streetcar. 9-10 years till opening. $30-60 million for BRT. 7 years to open. That BRT cost is soo low I doubt it resembles anything like true BRT. Linwood and 31st are said to have similar ridership today but Linwood has dramatically more room for regeneration and thus more pote...

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit

I know 39th seems to be the consensus leaving KUMed but I still really like 43rd St and it seems a bit overlooked. Connecting at Broadway and moving north on Broadway gets you connection to St. Lukes and Westport while possibly spurring development on St Lukes massive parking lots. There's as much ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Clark Hunt said at Super Bowl media today that they're "working in tandem with the Royals" and are seriously looking at the option of a *new* stadium and not just a renovation. https://twitter.com/codybtapp/status/1623149306034413568?s=20&t=LLPPplKVUyjfp_pp1wtT0A Not new info, and if ...

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit

Option 1: Streetcar 31st then likely Linwood terminating at VA Medical (roughly). Standard bus could maybe go to TSC Option2: BRT 31st then Linwood to TSC BRT Linwood is absolutely CRAZY right now with traffic. I know theres been talk about a road diet on it, but I don't see how that happens. You h...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Nashville has grown exponentially in the last 10 years. Convention Center is a big project I would point to that launched things but of course there was much much more and over many decades. Sprint Center and Street Car absolutely accelerated things from 0 to 5 and then to 15. COVID/Politics put thi...
