Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I think the save the crossroads did more damage than anything. You already had to overcome the suburban vote so once everyone latched onto "destruction of the crossroads", it was all over. East Village would have won. East Village campaign would have been about creating something, while t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

From Q: "The people of Kansas City and Jackson County love the Chiefs and the Royals. Today, they rejected plans and processes they found inadequate." Can't say I disagree. Not even sure EV would pass now without a major flip of the script, but think it would have if they had stuck with it...

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway

Mission Gateway has its incentive package canceled by the city and I think they’re still in the court process now. As for Roe and SMP, do you mean Metcalf? Roe/Johnson Drive has a few ramps, but nothing major. Yes, not really cloverleafs. I think it's mostly due to some utilities/infra in the area ...

Tie in polling. https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/stadium-plan/kshb-41-news-obtains-poll-results-showing-tight-race-in-stadium-sales-tax I have a feeling that if it passes, it'll be narrow.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I'll go to my grave that the EV location could have been built out just like EC is proposed and it would have fed the P&L. I've seen people walk a mile to get to a KC Current NWSL game, you can't tell me they wouldn't walk to EV to/from a game. It's water under the bridge at this point. Someday...

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium

how are most people accessing the stadium since there apparently isn't much parking? park in river market and walk down, uber, or what? I walked from the River Market starting at about 10am at the town of Kansas bridge. There was a solid stream of walkers ahead of me and behind me. The energy and e...

Re: Restoration of City Control Over KCPD

Realistically, can anything be done to wrest control back, or is the GOP control too overpowering and they’ll be resistant to any small, local government argument because they’re without principles and just looking to kill own the libs? Related, how did St. Louis manage to do it not too long ago?
