Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
You have to wonder what kind of deal walmart is getting to agree to the first of something and have it be something that makes the store design harder

Re: Regional Transit Coordination
What matters more is the board being interested in the changes. If Reardon put in place changes that are having clear benefits with public support they would be stupid not to support them continuing with someone new. The one change I noticed and made sense is the downtown stop consolidation. I was a...

Re: 1640- BNIM HQ
Can easily adjust the population each year to registered voters. The logic stands either way.
No matter what I don't like the percent of mayoral vote method.

Re: 1640- BNIM HQ
These latest petition drives have really soured me to this part of the city charter. What a waste of time. there's a lot of arguments to be made about the petition process I would like to see a total population component instead. And I think it should be based off historical petition requirements. ...

Re: We need a new airport!!!
As described by the study the really small apron between the taxiway and terminal makes it slower to move planes around. Fixing this is one goal with a new terminal. It takes longer to get a full plane from the terminal to the runway as described. Boarding the plane only to wait in a tiny space is w...

Re: Prariefire at Lionsgate - large mixed use development
That something is probably all the empty spaces on the back side of Corbin Park. When your competitor can't fill spaces only an idiot builds.

Re: Church of the Resurrection Downtown Campus
This is just another example of how parking controls and enforcement plays a big part in how people use an area. We know perception matters as much as reality. The policy of allowing someone to park at 6pm on Friday and not move their car off the street until 7am Monday takes away a lot of spots at ...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
Today was the first big rain since work has completed repaving and new corners. With what I saw today there's going to be a redo of part of the work. Because of a large low spot the water was so deep at Delaware and Indep Ave (NW corner) that it was easily 4"+ deep. It was right where a vehicle...

Re: Would you like to see the Royals move to a downtown stadium?
Any bottoms plan has to contend with the ultimate NO entity.
The railroads. They can hold up any plan for years by themselves
Maybe I-35 should be there, doesn't mean there's any chance if ever will be.

Re: We need a new airport!!!
It's not busy per se, it's that most people pick the same airline, Southwest, because they have most of the flights And it's the cheapest option out of KC (I cost compare every time, Southwest has won on price and choice 3 of 4 flights we have made in 8 years) If Terminal C had 50% of airport usage ...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
Voice...talent? I always thought it was some stock, digitally rendered voice. I like the consistency between the streetcar and the rest of the system. You can usually identify digital vs human by if accurate local pronunciations are used. It's not the accent but the vowel sounds. Troost sounds like...

Re: Church of the Resurrection Downtown Campus
There's a few places that are. This is a former church at 9th/Harrison, roughly a block away from the other existing alternate choice church example earlier in the thread at 9th/Forest.

Re: Would you like to see the Royals move to a downtown stadium?
If moving the bus facility is realistic that's not a horrible location. It's already a superblock and where it isn't (Forest) the roads don't connect past I-70 or US 71 so you're not upsetting the grid. E-W taking out 16th and 17th was already done. Urban, spot is near freeway noise so you don't hav...

Re: We need a new airport!!!
If you want to be called stupid around gate availability is because the airport is too big. It's functionally oversized for our needs. There's 90 gates between the three terminals and we're using around 30-35 of them. We're wasting 2/3 of the available space. The new terminal is in total size bigger...
