Grand BLVD improvement will be great but lets also upgrade16th street. That streetcar stop is going to be primary for Kauffman Center, Bartle Hall Ballroom and the stadium.

You could almost make it a mall. What would be a good name for a mall on 16th street? Hmmmm.

Also closing Oak St is no bueno, especially when it appears to be just to allow for the real estate development portion of the stadium. Oak is closed. Look at the right field entrance. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/426357996_806133304891957_6146046116059497634_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102...

Overall, this seems pretty detached from reality for the vote and will be rolled back considerably once they've gotten all the approvals. The office, residential and hotel will probably just be a parking garage. If that stuff isn't built along with the stadium then it's not happening. I feel like t...

With the stadium in this location i think you have a better opportunity to run Shuttles from the various bar districts. Westport, Plaza, North KC, Martini Corner, Strawberry Hill could all run shuttles around from the various bars. You park in westport drink a little at the westport bar and a shutt...

So we will be closing Grand, Walnut and Oak through downtown? 30%of the through street? 40% if you count Main with the streetcar? Don't like the brick exterior. Love the fountains (will they work in the batters eye?). Upper deck is much smaller, which is good. Fences look short. Would love to know t...

Plus for every dollar you increase the budget, you have to add .25 cents to the police budget.

I agree. It's too much. But also, I'm old like you.

I would say they overdid the LED boards when they updated the K. To much visual noise for not enough return, specifically thinking about the ones in the outfield wall. Hopefully both teams will consider some form of permanent locations for image mapping the field. We have been outfitting arenas for ...

Those white sox renderings are beautiful. Very nice, and interesting how they would move further North closer to the main "heart of downtown" in Chicago. I wonder how the old school "south siders" would feel about this location. Looks great and would be a great location in relat...

Great for the Sox. They deserver better than the dump they have been in. Looks fantastic.

Great that they are doing it right! Looks like it's going to be fantastic.

Always assumed they were temporary, and we would start seeing curbs eventually. Probably not before Bobby Whitt Jr. retires though.

Don't like Truth. How about Red Line Road, rolls off the tongue and reminds us of our history.

She is completely to blame.

What is the status of the sale?

I don't want to call anyone out directly, but I fully support this part of your statement.
