Re: Jackson County Regional Rail Plan

KCS plans to upgrade their Missouri infrastructure including instances of double tracking. Believe this includes KC area. I know the previous commuter plan wanted to use a few KCS lines so this could be good news. You mean CPKC? I don’t know how decisions are made at the new entity but I would not ...

Re: First Friday

Rest assured galleries are still very much part of the event. The crowds are larger and interested in many of the things that simply didn't exist when FF started (breweries, distilleries, food trucks), but the galleries are still exhibiting -- east and west -- and debuting new works tied to the even...

Re: Misc Crossroads News

Really excited for the old Kenton spot since it will include a restaurant and pocket park. Expect the city to get rid of the unwarranted traffic signal at the intersection. Will totally transform that corner.

Re: Jackson County Regional Rail Plan

Amtrak is replacing their P42 locomotives and coach cars with the same ones that Missouri bought. The old units will be scrapped/sold. While old, the last time Amtrak upgraded their equipment many units were picked up by commuter railroads for dirt cheap. Could be an opportunity for KCATA to buy co...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The Royals just terminated their agreement with the Crossroads. Good. The CCA dicked around and it SHOULD cost them this generational opportunity, along with the sweetheart agreement. The CCA never endorsing and only agreeing on THE DAY OF the vote is absurd. Maybe they can get Chartreuse to sponso...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Supposed announcement coming soon walking back the Oak Street closure, and possibly some change in direction with ancillary development. Crossroads has pushed hard on both, after the small business support of course. Ancillary development should err on the side of adaptive reuse -- a Crossroads hall...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

No one has made a clear case why East Village was discarded after years of contemplation, other than "too expensive" or "MoDOT/feds don't like it". Not saying I don't believe it because I know the complexity of those players, but the opacity here is beyond frustrating. And the di...

Re: Generic ongoing KCATA thread

Indeed, the attack took down their main operations system that collects ridership data from the sensors above the doors. Buses are able to run in this case because the operators do have printed schedules they can use, but that same system tells them whether they're on time or not. Interested to see ...

Looks like it hasn't been updated since December 2023
I'm sure they have. Look in the last board packet.
