Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I also do not see how this stadium goes up with zero parking directly connected to it. It has got to have something. I know there is plenty of parking for most people, but there needs to be one close garage for people that will pay whatever it takes to park close, and also for handicapped etc. If y...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
That’s not what they’re doing. They’re asking for tax payers to extend a sales tax to help fund the stadium and the stadium only. They can’t sit here and over promise that the cap will happen if you vote yes because there are many other involved parties. Bottom line is if this vote doesn’t pass and...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Would love to hear more about some of the design choices: Why wasn't the field oriented north, given this is the perfect location to do so, and the northeast view looks directly onto a looming relative eyesore of a building? Issues with sunlight/angles per MLB? To better incorporate the "villag...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
What a great week in KC. Watching the Super Bowl parade roll past the future Royals stadium site, getting pumped.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Some thoughts after digesting this for a bit: TL:DR - Pro - love the location, super urban, no parking (!?) Con - zero concrete info, renderings laughably remain a "Vision", feels like potential bait n switch Superior location to EV for sure, IF built as-shown day 1 (cap park included) wil...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I've enjoyed following the debate throughout this thread. Excited to see what the Royals have come up with. To me, the design/plan will make or break this; they need to follow through on whatever they promise moving forward, including ancillary development and/or cap park integration. I actually thi...

Re: Bond Bridge Question
One must hope that CPKC stadium opening this year next door to the Bond bridge will spur action towards re-lighting. It is a signature component of the view out of the stadium to north. Fingers crossed.

Re: Bond Bridge Question
Where does MODOT stand on safety lighting? The Bond bridge is dark. Not even highway lighting on it. Basic lighting to help illuminate the roadway is needed. As for ornamental lighting why not let Evergy advertise their name on the bridge somehow on the side or roadway, via a light projection. Have...

Re: OFFICIAL - Performing Arts Center construction
While I agree with the criticism of the shameful empty lots around the PAC (and it is embarrassing), let's cut a little slack here for the fact that a big chunk of that land was tied up for years with the assumption that UMKC was going to build their downtown Conservatory (renderings are still float...

Several major entertainment/cultural venues set to open in 2024, all clustered around downtown: CPKC Park/Current NWSL Pennway Pointe Rock Island Bridge Rabbit hOle (NKC) Hoping we finally get some details on the stadium situation with Royals and Chiefs, sooner than later. Streetcar extension should...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I should add, if there are serious conversations about eminent domain, etc., I would rather this go along the streetcar line on the north side of the loop. Ideal location, IMO.
Obviously the Star site presents at least one major landowner with an interest in development, unlike a north loop site.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Man, here I was hoping maybe 18th/Vine combo with NLBM was back on the table. I agree this is a tough one. If this could somehow be built over the 670 trench (precedent - Target Field) with a portion designed as a terminus for the South Loop park, I would be hugely in favor. An unconventional design...

Re: Vote No on park vacation
This was a wild land. There was nothing to take care of. In fact, where appropriate, a lot of park land could be returned to a wild status. Maintenance money could be saved. There could have been some improvement if there were future demand, such as hiking trails. Some of Kessler's urban masterpiec...

Re: West Bottoms Redevelopment
Nice article on the Rock Island Bridge from Startland News. Looks like progress is being made on the levee trail and The Yards phase II as well - looking good.

Re: Armory Block Redevelopment at 3620 Main
This is particularly disappointing; I was looking forward to this as one of the flagship redevelopments along the Main Street extension. Now "maybe" an event space and Goodwill moving next door; no new construction at all. Biz Journal mentions Exact had difficulty finding hotel or food hal...
