All I know - or think I know - is what I read. According to the KCBJ (5/17), this site would qualify for 15 stories. VanTrust's site also is located within a "transit node" under the city's Main Corridor Overlay District. That designation permits building heights anywhere from three to 15 ...

Thanks. Elderly sister is flying out. Because of all the early complaints about access she's concerned about what the experience will be. Just trying to get her as much info as possible to prevent confusion and problems.

Is the dropoff/pickup for off-airport parking like Park-n-Go on the upper or lower level? I can't tell from the diagram on flykci.com. Thanks.

Not an excuse for the treatment described here.

I'm always baffled by laws that penalize people for driving the legal speed limit.

There you go. Thanks. Guess I could have done that myself.

Just a question, because I don't know: would Omni be happy with 200 rooms?

Good grief.

Agreed.

She lives in Charlotte. Large airport. Cell phone lot for years. Apparently she has never had to pick anyone up from the airport here. So, it was a new experience for her. That's all. And KCPowercat: people on here are constantly expressing opinions about parking lots.

Spoke with an acquaintance who flies with some frequency to KC to visit friends. She was a fan of the old terminal. Said the new terminal is beautiful - her word, but just like every other airport. Spoke positively of the cell phone lot, which her friends used.

Actually, for their sample basket, KC was below the national average - KC $25.54 vs national average $26.20 - even after a higher than average rate of increase.

Actually, for their sample basket, KC is below the national average. Not so bad.

That's great. But take a look at that park. Would you ever want to take a book or a dog or a friend and just hang out there? Haven't been there but, honestly, from the photo it looks so unwelcoming. And, I don't see many people taking advantage of it. Sure hope the South Loop is nothing like it. I'm...

According to the article in today's KCBJ, the traffic study submitted was based on the two tower version topping at 20 floors. So glad to see this, instead.

Chris, I'll be very happy to have been wrong about the 20 story height and see this happen.

Does anyone here know who designed the current BAP and Ilus Davis Park? HNTB?

I think it would be easier to do something interesting and fun with the change of elevation at the Wyandotte end if Walnut were the choice for closure rather than Baltimore. Hopefully they won't view that change as a liability and try to mask it.

Very nice. Thanks.

i agree about HR Block. Always wished it was about 6 stories taller. Much nicer proportions. Now, we just need some really interesting buildings along south Truman.
