What if we built new residential on top of the existing retail along say, Nichols road and then pedestrianized it.

Makes a lot of sense--relatively close to Cerner, close to Brookside. Will print $$$.

Columbia doesn't have a Arena a Team can play in just Baseball Field. Um.... Columbia has an arena 80% the size of the Sprint Center. It's named Mizzou Arena. In this hypothetical this team wouldn't be the first pro team to share a college facility. The LA Rams share a stadium with USC right now. :-$

It's still there, IIRC.

I think the smart money would be on the moving to the old Sundry.

Was there supposed to be bike lanes on 27th connecting Grand and McGee? I believe the final product is a bike lane part way that continues up the hill on the sidewalk or something like that. My understanding is that you can thank the prior BikeKC person and PW generally for that. They are convinced...

$250k city contribution to the garage each year increasing 5% a year for 25 years to provide FREE evening and weekend parking? Have you absorbed none of the lessons KCMO?

We all know that the new bridge will be anything but iconic in design, and thus a huge point of moaning and bitching if it's named after MLK..

Please, your honor, make sure the bridge is iconic!

Also, note that Armour will be thermo plastic when done. The current striping is temporary AFAIK.

Dude, that's like a requirement of being a hipster.

I noticed a certain local developer with significant River Market holdings posted an instagram photo of 906 today. Totally agree it would make for a very attractive office/residential/hotel. Glad to see Grand may finally be picking up a little.

Aweseome indoor food hall status?

Checking out the Torvehallerne in Copenhagen in a couple of weeks if you need some inspiration!

Exciting stuff--need to make sure the ground level of the garage is activated to further support pedestrian traffic along that corridor between convention center and arena.

Outstanding, thanks! I suppose I'd just never paid attention at San Antonio.

Ignorant question, but is anyone in town doing actual pastor on a spit gyro-style like you see in Mexico? I'll listen off line.

Hmmmmm.

I think those are for additional planning--maybe for the 20th to Crown Center leg?

Looks like ST deleted his profile and it was nice to have him on here. So congrats on running a nice resource off.

Man, I hope that isn't true--he provided tons of great info about goings on with P&L.
