I mentioned that before. If this comes to fruition it will have 5X the density of the riverfront. Would like to see the 12th street viaduct replaced before a streetcar line is run on it I actually agree with normalthings here It's over 100 years old and has not always been maintained. Putting a str...

Yeah if it’s gonna end up looking this good we need to have some sort of transit or small connector to the downtown Just use the 12th street E-W SC route from the next rail study, if the population they’re claiming will be there will actually be there, it’s a no brainer I mentioned that before. If ...

It has. SW has more gates there than the entire new KCI terminal will have for all airlines

Yes

"The United States is banned by Congress from using public funds to take part in fairs organised by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), like the six-month Expo that started in Dubai last week."

Incentives before KCATA this week

I wish some developer could convince the Rehab Institute to build somewhere else. Perhaps move to Hospital Hill. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0868028,-94.5726337,361m/data=!3m1!1e3 Then their site could be redeveloped with TOD residential. AbilityKC (formerly Rehab Inst) has a foundation that ow...

Shannon Jax also left the district.

^If Bravo is fully privately financed. Getting incentives have and probably will still fail. There are thousands of rooms in pipeline closer to reality that have a higher chance of completing. Hotel Bravo has been and remains alive -- if you ask the developers. But their continued insistence of pub...

What is Lucas on? Even if we all went out and worked on a streetcar to TSC together it’s just not realistic to build in 4 years. With what money to begin with? The preliminary corridor study won’t even be ready until like fall. Look, I want the damn thing to TSC. I’ve always been banging that drum....

The old federal reserve should move ahead as well. That disaster deserves to be finished before and four years is enough. Every hotel is going to ask for incentives now, some that don't deserve (looking at you the plaza). Totally agree on the Federal Reserve. WAY past time! I don't agree on the inc...

Trying to temper my expectations. Extremely excited for a win but I find it strange there is only 1 leak for the whole of WC 2026 and it’s to Mahoney

Local or National?

Missouri Ethics Commission lays outs who is running for what and who is donating to who.

There are some anti-downtown candidates for sure. Some very pro downtown. Some who it’s unclear their take.

BREAKING: Sources are telling KMBC’s Mike Mahoney that KC is getting the World Cup https://twitter.com/krisketzkmbc/status/1537273591766605825?s=21&t=KpIJOywgrfDa20x9QOJsJA I want to be excited but I will wait till tomorrow. I am a little suspicious that KC is the only city to leak. The fact th...

Micheal Kelly is running vs Ellington I think. Need to check my notes

Yeah, Neil, Ellington, Robinson, and Loar are the ones who seem clueless imo. Most of our council feels like placeholders. At least Bunch understands urban planning and wants to see a denser more walkable urban core. 100%. O’Neill‘s view on streetcar development is incredibly frustrating He’s anti ...

Power & Light is confirming it now. On twitter

Drove through Denver yesterday (June 14th). Counted 9 cranes in the air!!! All on the NE side of downtown. Jealous as hell!!! Whatever our approach to development our City employes is wrong and needs corrected ASAP!!!! So even though pro-development I'll give a devil's advocate response. KC needs t...
