KCRag Forum

Six years of Mahomes and I think we are finally starting to make at least some ground on that idea that KC is in Missouri though. All that work we've done is going to be undone by the University of Kansas football team playing in Kansas City, Missouri. It's going to break everyone's mind. :lol: Wel...

KC is so paranoid about potentially pissing off a developer on big project.

Totally lose perspective on the power dynamics.

I still can't believe it's happening.

Thought for sure it was one of those "Wouldn't it be cool..." ideas that never goes anywhere.

WB has a lot of energy at the moment.

Here it comes! You were almost contributing to the conversation but glad to see you slide back into your more preferred role.

Honest question.

Will this be some of that quality P&L level retail?

Great points. Have you really been lurking here for 14 years?

That is some serious self-control!

First off this is a small part of the entire crossroads, but mostly, that area is just not well developed at all. I mean I don't get the love for the area. I hate tearing things down, but geez. That area is not really urban, it's half parking lots and very few of the buildings are worth getting wor...

Not any different than our current rail system, oil pipelines or bridges and highways.

Combination of cameras, fencing and security?

Shouldn't give up on Pershing, it's the center of gravity for people visiting KC, between Crown Center, Liberty Memorial and Union Station.

Should definitely be an urban pedestrian plaza, but would settle for a nice boulevard.

Widen sidewalks on both sides of Pershing, add street trees.

Massive crosswalks with islands on both crossings of Broadway.

Enter thru Carter/Waters building take elevator/escalator down to fun.

Tourists will walk there guaranteed.

I can't figure out how to get this uploaded to a place where it can be shared more easily, but I have a potential map at this link. Dark blue spots = stop. Light blue = maybe stops. https://netorgft3285534-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/sowens_collinsandwebb_com/EUPjWI9qzKxFjtXxwrdDG38BFc0dL3IfWS...

Close 39th to auto traffic from Mercier to State Line.

Elon saw all of our twitter comments.

Capitalism is going to capitalize.

[ The difference here is PNL is already coming up short of the cities tax revenue predictions and we need to build with that in mind. I think I hear you saying that the original deal was a bad one and not realistic, but somehow we should still defer to it when considering new projects? The PNL will...

This part struck me the most.

Capital cost C$1·8bn
Canadian government C$400m
Province of Alberta C$600m
City of Edmonton C$800m

I could see the Feds coming up with their share, but are the state and city numbers even possible in our current system?

I’m seeing more yes votes on here then no votes. The no votes are understandable knowing the perspectives of those members. A few members are loyal crossroads supporters, residents and or business owners. I can respect their desire to keep crossroads untouched while also pointing out that the area ...
