You have to wonder what kind of deal walmart is getting to agree to the first of something and have it be something that makes the store design harder

What matters more is the board being interested in the changes. If Reardon put in place changes that are having clear benefits with public support they would be stupid not to support them continuing with someone new. The one change I noticed and made sense is the downtown stop consolidation. I was a...

Can easily adjust the population each year to registered voters. The logic stands either way.

No matter what I don't like the percent of mayoral vote method.

These latest petition drives have really soured me to this part of the city charter. What a waste of time. there's a lot of arguments to be made about the petition process I would like to see a total population component instead. And I think it should be based off historical petition requirements. ...

That would be because Article 7 of the Charter of the City of Kansas City, Missouri says they get it. They get 10 more days after the election board notice Sec 732 If the City Clerk [...] shall find an initiative, referendum or recall petition to be insufficient, the committee of petitioners may at ...

As described by the study the really small apron between the taxiway and terminal makes it slower to move planes around. Fixing this is one goal with a new terminal. It takes longer to get a full plane from the terminal to the runway as described. Boarding the plane only to wait in a tiny space is w...

That something is probably all the empty spaces on the back side of Corbin Park. When your competitor can't fill spaces only an idiot builds.

135th St has way more retail speculation than the area can support.

This is just another example of how parking controls and enforcement plays a big part in how people use an area. We know perception matters as much as reality. The policy of allowing someone to park at 6pm on Friday and not move their car off the street until 7am Monday takes away a lot of spots at ...

Was out there on the 5th. The building described in this article was under construction. It's not much but it's slightly more density going in. http://wyandottedaily.com/new-buildings-in-the-works-for-the-legends-outlets/ The proposed building, according to Unified Government planning documents, wou...

Today was the first big rain since work has completed repaving and new corners. With what I saw today there's going to be a redo of part of the work. Because of a large low spot the water was so deep at Delaware and Indep Ave (NW corner) that it was easily 4"+ deep. It was right where a vehicle...

Any bottoms plan has to contend with the ultimate NO entity.

The railroads. They can hold up any plan for years by themselves

Maybe I-35 should be there, doesn't mean there's any chance if ever will be.

How quickly we forget the Jimmy John's drive thru on Broadway shit storm last year.

Save the Plaza had large groups out picketing. Nothing downtown has come close.

It's not busy per se, it's that most people pick the same airline, Southwest, because they have most of the flights And it's the cheapest option out of KC (I cost compare every time, Southwest has won on price and choice 3 of 4 flights we have made in 8 years) If Terminal C had 50% of airport usage ...

Voice...talent? I always thought it was some stock, digitally rendered voice. I like the consistency between the streetcar and the rest of the system. You can usually identify digital vs human by if accurate local pronunciations are used. It's not the accent but the vowel sounds. Troost sounds like...

But once again, how much would it cost to maintain what we currently have and fix the actual PROBLEMS that need fixed? Need, not want Ok, so that is a clear list. See Page 25 of the city document. Aging Infrastructure –underground utilities, apron, & terminal roadways Increases potential for cr...

There's a few places that are. This is a former church at 9th/Harrison, roughly a block away from the other existing alternate choice church example earlier in the thread at 9th/Forest.

Wow... If you think that's the worst part of town you have a lot of the city to see. It's not even in the top 10. This is my top 5 Around Nicholson Ball Diamond Park Around Independence Plaza Park North on Manchester Trafficway from I-70 Along Coal Mine Rd north of Blue Parkway Central Paseo Industr...

If moving the bus facility is realistic that's not a horrible location. It's already a superblock and where it isn't (Forest) the roads don't connect past I-70 or US 71 so you're not upsetting the grid. E-W taking out 16th and 17th was already done. Urban, spot is near freeway noise so you don't hav...

If you want to be called stupid around gate availability is because the airport is too big. It's functionally oversized for our needs. There's 90 gates between the three terminals and we're using around 30-35 of them. We're wasting 2/3 of the available space. The new terminal is in total size bigger...

Yes, taking land from a Children's hospital is a project that people can get behind.
