Went to Kim Lin a week or two ago for the first time in years. It was atrocious

Subscribe to CityScene and read the new article on this. Strata reassignment would take that incentive and put it on this site Along w/ 2 additional sites. Interesting. The 3 sites are Strata + the Sky & Cordish sites as far as I understand Very interesting. Im curious how that will work. Part ...

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

What is the site you linked to? Why have I never heard of them?

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.

I think it was only introduced today. So it will be discussed in committee next week or next meeting time

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

“Having gone two years without a normal Main Street and likely to go two more, why not explore making the streetcar lanes from 27th on just dedicated to the streetcars and allow the calmer Main we all now know to continue?” -Mayor Q https://twitter.com/quintonlucaskc/status/1678763343371460609?s=46...

And that is only for half of the overall project.

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

I also noticed they torn down part of the old (nursing?) school on the southeast corner of rainbow and 39th

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.

One of the things holding KC back is the unwillingness to pool resources. In this and many other areas

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.

The last council discussion approving the $10 million from the city included requirement for a community benefits agreement with all the stakeholders saying city owns this, a non-profit cid or similar will be in charge of maintenance. And if that doesn’t happen, city won’t contribute the money or su...

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

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.

I think ‘substantially complete’ by then

There is an ordinance being introduced today to extend their project timeline to 2026. So this is still alive. Which by the way, I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere that the city council passed a new law in April requiring all projects receiving incenyives through the city to be substantially compl...

Absolutely. Having KC botanical gardens on the outskirts of the city is a big fail.
