Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

He's a hell of a champion, for downtown. He does sometimes ask ...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

Am I right in looking at 10th street as a center lane stop? yes. this frees up space at the transit center. Also, do you have any word on how they will deal with petticoat lane and/or the garage entrance by cosentino? not sure what your question is about petticoat lane. re: cosentino's garage, ther...

I don't get how they can use state tax credits for a student housing project. My understanding was this is not allowed. maybe i am missing something.

Photo Requests
