Re: Triple Crown Sculpture Repair
I keep forgetting to provide an update.
The sculpture is repaired and back up but the temporary fence was yet to be removed last I went by.

Triple Crown Sculpture Repair
I was biking up Grand last night and noticed some construction equipment and a security guard at the Triple Crown Sculpture at 27th and Grand, that has been down due to damage since summer 2019. Talked to the guard and he said they started dismantling it this week for cleaning and repair and should ...

Re: General Amtrak Discussion
Just to give an additional positive review. I've have had great experiences on the long distance routes I've taken. Additionally, I did LAX-CHI-STL-KCY last fall and similar to Dave, was disappointed in the "flexible dining" but otherwise had a great experience riding during covid. I'm doi...

Re: Bike Lanes
Gillham Protected Bike Lane Update! This evening K&G is striping the section between McGee Traffic way and where the previous north most section ended on Gillham Plaza just south of Linwood. I didn't go further south to see if they were doing Gillham Rd. on the east side of Hyde Park while it's ...

Re: Phase 2 streetcar to UMKC
My personal experience both living in NYC and in KC. Wrong direction boarding on a island vs side platforms is probably about same. As in happens either way. I pretty frequently see people on KC buses or the streetcar having to get off and switch directions and we have no island platforms currently.

Re: OPUS at Broadway Blvd and Westport Road
I went to the one in Chelsea NYC a couple times. It was nice for like the first week it opened but after that it started to look like a regular dingy Taco Bell that happened to have drinks. Despite being "fancy", its still ran like a Taco Bell and will degrade quickly to look like every ot...

Re: KC in TV and Movies
Not TV or Movies, but music video... Last night I discovered that Ministry's video for Just One Fix was filmed on the 1900 Block of Main. I don't think I've ever heard this discussed along with the couple of other music videos filmed here. You can see Hotel Monroe, The Rieger(Dixie Belle at the time...

Re: Bike Lanes
Haven't looked in here for a bit. but my $0.02 on why we don't see the bike lanes on grand being used very often, I prefer to bike on Walnut, it's much more pleasant ride. I ride Grand occasionally, but usually only if i need to be at least that extra block east. That being said. I do see it getting...

Re: Zipcar
I had issues searching for a zipcar in KC recently, kept coming back with 0 cars available. The other day I searched and got a "Zipcar has not come to this market" with links to other cities, one of which is "Kansas City" but clicking that link just does a search for KCMO and bri...

Re: Bike Lanes
39th is already too narrow for both traffic and parking in several locations west of Southwest Trafficway. In a couple of locations buses wait for oncoming traffic to clear before proceeding. Parking needs removed/reduced then you have room to widen the lanes and add bike lanes.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Sorta surprised, but not really. Last time I was in there, maybe a year ago, place was pretty dated. Found a couple pair of dress shoes I liked, but none in my size. Bummer though. I went in to buy some Birkenstocks a couple of years ago and the salesman was really shitty about it. He said his boss...

I'd love to see some data to prove out this irrational anger of scooters.... But in my experience I'd bet anything it doesn't exist... This is a lot of anger for nothing. Here's some data for you. IT IS ILLEGAL. It's not like saying people wearing hats backwards makes me angry "you kids get of...

Re: Bird Scooters Have Landed
Segway tours seem to not illicit such anger.... Guess it's just the sheer number of scooters (and we haven't got started yet) I've never seen any segway tours other than maybe once on the shared usage path in Mill Creek Park. I didn't know it was still a thing. If I saw them ripping down the sidewa...
