Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
There will be vote needed for the city’s portion is what I’m told from the top people with the city. Considering the Mayor probably signed an NDA and the rest of the Council seems in the dark, we have no reason to believe anything that says "the city" will do anything unless there's a big...

Re: Why is the Crossroads an “Arts” District?
Not sure how you can't count Stray Cat. Exhibition has changed so much since the pandemic. By this definition there's no theater anywhere in the urban core other than B&B.

Re: Why is the Crossroads an “Arts” District?
The Loews hotel is at the same latitude as the printing plant site. Is the Loews hotel part of the crossroads arts district? Yes. There's an established boundary. The hotel is entirely within it. When they planted their flag they told us they would have public art and chef-driven restaurants. They ...

Re: OFFICIAL - Main Street Streetcar Extension
The northbound Union Station stop will be activated this fall as part of the rail tie-in to the Main Street Extension. There will be a system outage during this period, covered by a three-vehicle bus bridge (most 'emergency' bus bridges are two vehicles). This new stop will include the new cellular-...

Re: Capping the Loop
The lid has two major issues: 1. No one has addressed the EIS comments. 2. No one (with the capacity as judged by the feds) has stepped up to build/maintain the project. Until these are addressed, nothing happens... especially the eastern expansion proposed by the team. As for WC, this isn't even th...

https://twitter.com/KCCrossroads/status/1769001214123954182?s=19 If they’ve worked out a CBA they like, why would they stay neutral on the vote instead of encouraging a Yes vote? Because they're spineless and bowing to the likes of Coxxxon and such. Fuck you. It's called consensus. And it's hard. I...

Re: Streetcar to the riverfront
This project's struggle more closely emulates other US streetcar projects (precarious funding and financing), but glad it's finally happening. It will complement the Main Street Extension nicely. Hopefully PortKC can live up to its obligations since this small segment is not inside the TDD. It shoul...

Re: General Amtrak Discussion
For my whole childhood, there was an Amtrak route from LA to Salt Lake City (and on to Chicago), going through Barstow and Las Vegas. It was called the Desert Wind. My family would take it from SoCal to SLC almost every Christmas to go skiing. I chalk up my love of long-distance trains to that rout...
