Re: Generic ongoing KCATA thread

I can't even get the 37 to show up for this alignment on Google Maps. I'd suggest just taking the 142.

Re: Union Station

Renderings refer to the "Science Center." Is this any indication that they're going to abandon "Science City" and rebrand as something more appropriate for a real, substantial science exhibit? In the original Star article about the Union Station updates there was a paragraph abo...

Re: 2012 Downtown Housing Report

I think mixed-use is almost always appropriate in a neighborhood like River Market. However, the proposed site for River Market West is one spot that I think is fine to develop as residential only, given that it is on the tail end of 3rd Street before Broadway. Hopefully the project will still fron...

Open until 3 am. You now know everything I know about it. I was a member at Scott Fitness for a long time, and...

Re: Yael:Here's how KC's downtown can get even better Read

Do something about the ridiculous amount of surface parking. Do something about the property owners that are either absentee or are sitting on their buildings letting them rot hoping for a windfall. Agreed. The real gamechanger downtown will be an increase in density. The streetcar will help facili...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

Back to the plan. One thing KC has a HORRIBLE tendency to do is not put up signs on side streets noting construction on a perpinducular street. It's worse with one-way streets than it would be elsewhere. When 11th was closed from Main to Baltimore if you were going south and wanted to get to 11th y...
