Re: New Downtown YMCA
Even without retail it can't be worse than the garage there today. That's one of the lowest quality garages downtown right now.

Re: Martini Corner near 31st/Gilham
Who owns the lot just south of Velvet Freeze (across 31st)? It doesn't show up as a parcel in parcel viewer. that's technically a city street. google street view has a sewer inlet on it (barely) which wouldn't be on a private parking lot the parcel viewer shows it's a parkway so being parkland it w...

Re: Second and Delaware
2.9 million over 50 years, the rough lifespan of concrete if unmaintained (for worst case costs) is $58,000 per year to get a quality project.
Sounds like a better deal than some of them on the table.

Re: The KCMO School District
I suspect the parents had a lot to do with those numbers. There's obviously roadblocks to learning in any poorer school district but even if teachers were incompetent, it's not like the students don't have text books and a functioning brain. A little effort goes a long way. statistically educationa...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
Does anyone know how the streetcar app contest drawing works? The deadline to be eligible is the evening of the 18th but nothing says when the drawing is.
Did anyone here besides me get to the required points?

Re: Downtown Streetcar Opening Day
Opening day can be a celebration. Pick a stop, close the streets off it and do the jazz band outside thing. Drawings, merchandise, food, etc. Have a ribbon cutting and all that. Stage each train at that stop and they start off at intervals. If the weather works get the zoomobile out, bring in carniv...

Re: Chouteau Courts to be demolished / Paseo Gateway Plan
It's a hard spot for the same reason they're abandoning the site, it's unstable land.
Would come with a major site prep project. With so many other easier and cheaper lots, I expect this would sit empty longer than the Mission Mall site if sold.

Re: The KCMO School District
My guess is the KC school district is going to be swallowed up eventually. This idea was dismissed a few years back but they have trouble finding school board candidates.
That's not a good sign for the health of the district.

Re: The KCMO School District
As I recall, that was just the KC schools inside Independence? Correct. But the 2000 District population figures and demographics include that portion of Independence and any cyphering of the urban core population would not. I don't know how many people live in those census tracts of eastern indepe...

Re: Renovations of apartment buildings along Armour Blvd.
the storage buildings closer to Linwood and Main had a for sale sign on them for a long time. I've been inside the shorter one, it's in horrible shape and needs a huge amount of work. the basement floods for one, and I'm not talking an inch of water. it's connected to the taller building next to it ...

For reference, this a block away from car wash whose (then?) owners opposed the last light rail plan that would have laid track on this block.
