Que the pissed Plaza area people who won’t like the design because it’s too modern. And they're right. This isn't a good design for the Plaza. Atleast the other one gave a nod to the character. This would be amazing downtown. I'll take it over nothing- and atleast it's not really inside the Plaza- ...

If we loose, we learn. If we win, we win. At least we tried Exactly. Making it to this stage in the decision process is impressive itself. Obviously, it would be a letdown to not be selected. And being able to say you're one of the host cities for the largest sporting event the world has ever seen ...

They’re not doing themselves any favors but trying push for it with nothing. Get the people something to visualize.

They haven’t done any pushing for it publicly lol

KC Current stadium will be expandable to 20,500 seats. I think that’s a jump from before

Here we go! "Hunt Midwest, Copaken Brooks partner on redeveloping former KCPS HQ in Downtown" https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2022/06/13/copaken-brooks-hunt-midwest-kcps-board-education.html This was dropped by a national developer after projects started getting rejected for i...

I would hope KCPS would be ok incentivizing their old property that is now a weed filled lot. All it takes is the developer meeting with them in advance and addressing their concerns. Why everyone doesn't follow the path of least resistance is beyond me. Because their proposed solution isn’t financ...

This is a pretty bad argument for Bunch if he just had 2 or 3 other people on the council he wouldn't be as shitty. No the guy is in over his head he literally has no clue what he's doing.

Distrup is bad

It says she worked for Visit KC for a while so that could be promising.

Justin Short needs to win.

There was an advisory meeting this week. Streetcar or Bus modes. Likely that there will be more than 1 project that comes out of the study (ie. streetcar project and then a bus project).

Sold

Holland said the metro area will need to get engaged with legacy projects tied to the World Cup that benefit the community.

NathanWillet (formerly with ShowMe Institute) is running for 1st District, immediate reaction is no from me Former police captain Richard Sayles is running for 2nd District. The Northland has long been referred to as the ‘cash cow’ for city project funding. You deserve a city government that respect...

He's maneuvered himself through some pretty hairy situations, gotta give credit where due, regardless if you agree on his stance. Solid political chops. Examples please? He's seemed to have taken both sides on the police thing, lied about signing off on the feds coming here, his road rehab program ...

Hard to name a major project, event, etc that stems from the Lucas era. Mac’s Armour and Main project would’ve been one, and technically is if it gets off the ground. The Riverfront soccer stadium is another. Katz is pretty major (because it merges old and new). 10th and Main. These were all announ...

It just got Planning Approval this week. I think the joke is that something finally gets approved and its trash

Nike is back. Bunch of filings today,
