Re: Phase Three Streetcar Expansion

Running the streetcar or LRT to Truman is a bad idea, never work, waste of $$. If you want transit to a Sunday Chiefs game or (a future) World Cup build the new stadium in the West bottoms as ultimately in 10 years that will be the most densely populated neighborhood next to downtown. A 3 mile line...

Makes more sense when there used to be a team much closer to downtown (Raiders) and Levi Stadium put them in the heart of a secondary but wealthy business center (Silicon Valley)

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

With the new terminal and garage, I take it the remote parking and service to the remote parking will remain the same as at the airport currently? I have a flight after the new terminal opens and wondering what the best option for parking is. The commercial lots outside the airport don't seem to be...

The more pieces you add (in a single structure), the smaller your pool of potential lenders and future buyers.

Re: 18th & Vine Jazz Festival

How popular is Jazz on a national level? Is not even popular locally I would say?


Recognizing our history is fun but jazz's golden era is long gone.

Meyer said the new terminal and garage also have space to accommodate future transit offerings. The commercial curb can support bus rapid transit growth, and new construction could create connections with eventual possibilities, such as an automated people mover system to and from economy parking o...

Re: 12th and Broadway site: RFP for mixed use

Stop with the plazas! Construct a building that stretches along Broadway from 11th to 12th streets with no break in the street wall (see both sides of Broadway between 8th and 9th streets for reference). The Building can be E-shaped. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.104647,-94.5883203,3a,90y,139.5h,...

Thought exercise. If J.C. Nichols had not built out the Plaza area with retail, and only had built some apartment buildings instead (think Armour Boulevard), would downtown be stronger? Would downtown have more retail? Would American Century, Lockton, Polsinelli, Husch-Blackwell, Populous, CBIZ, Ba...
