They also called for integrating trail and mobility lane (formerly known as bike lane) plans. Which is a good thing!

Btw- they state the Ferris wheel is 180 feet in height.

This is also the first I recall mention of using the yard game area as an ice skating rink during the winter.

Interview with lots of details and pics. If they pull this off it will be a great addition to the entertainment options downtown.

And that is only for half of the overall project.

This is project is set up to be underwhelming on several levels.

Re: Washington Sq Park between Crown Center/Union Station

The fact that you cannot go between the soccer fields and lake area by foot/bike is a joke. It’s very KC though.

It needs to be connected.

Re: OFFICIAL - Ashland at River Market

This building alone will do sooo much for the aesthetics of the river market. It will button up that corner nicely.

The PortKC TOD parcel will help too, but not to the extent this will. The Ashland site is such an eye sore.

Re: Blue River Road

The river bank collapsed on part of the road. Possibly around a bridge. I believe the cost estimates to fix it were very expensive- something like $10+ million. I don’t think the council felt justified spending that kind of money on a sparsely used, leisure cruising road through a park when the city...

Which means they want to get their incentives approved by 7/1/24. And incentives have a 3-year time window for completion

Re: Capping the Loop

The city council approved $10 million dollars today for the cap. This serves as support for the city's application for state tax credits that will help build the project.
