The dog park is at 5th and Locust on modot land. City Market Park doesn't have a dog park in it.

The city has been working on development on all three lots SW of the city market for some time now. Believe SW corner of 5th and Main is up first
NW of the city market is the KCATA project

The city has considered development of the three lots at 5th and Main for a couple of years.

The SE and SW corners would be apartments and some retail along 5th with their own parking needs served within.
The NW corner of Main at 5th would be a multistory garage which would contain all of the parking currently provided on the three lots.
This garage would also have retail along 5th Street.

The ATA lot at the NE corner of 3rd and Grand is proposed to be Office buildings and maybe some retail and maybe a large parking count.

I thought they were going into the Old Westport shopping center?

Yeah, that is what one reports says. Given they already opened, wonder if the other report was false.

From what I understand, it is probably better to call the RM an expansion and not a relocation. It was well in the work prior to the fire at 43rd/Main. The Westport shopping center location is the relocation from the 43rd/Main site.

Edit: A quick peak at their Facebook page confirms that they will be opening the Westport shopping center location as well.

Quick FYI - Burrito Bros in City Market has extended evening hours to 8:00 PM Tues - Sat.

Check them out and support more dinner options within the market!

Would still love to get a point where the majority of market vendors have evening hours, even if limited.

New meters, plus beefed-up enforcement that is also in the works, are intended to ensure effective management of public parking spaces and to encourage public transit use, plus economic growth and development.

I came across this rendering on Epoch Development's website for their Delaware Landing project (http://www.epochdevelopments.com/project-1):

Image

It appears to be the surface lot at the NW corner of 3rd and Delaware, one of three infill buildings mentioned by the developer in a recent Biz Journal article (SE corner of 3rd & Delaware and SE corner of 5th & Delaware being the others) in addition to their larger infill plans for all the surface parking between Delaware & Wyandotte, 3rd & 5th streets (indoor market, hotel tower, ???).

He said KC Commercial is planning a 72-unit apartment project on one lot and a 95- to 120-unit project on the other, each with 4,500 square feet of ground-level retail.

In turn, the city will use the proceeds to help build a 400-space garage on a parking lot immediately west of the City Market to replace the lost surface parking. Retail also is planned for the garage ground floor.

^Another lot down in RM, nice.

On the 400 space garage to west of City Market, looks to be the lot W of Minsky's. Would hope that is more than just a garage and a garage with streetfront retail (if enough space) and more residential on top. Doesn't appear to indicate that. Or perhaps design the garage to allow adding more future garage space on top as well a residential (or office/hotel).

three lots down, actually... if you count the garage-over-retail piece.

Rooftop park would be ideal for that garage.

Let Xroads get some of this kind of action especially with several lots still open along streetcar. Does the city own any lot(s) in Xroads that can build a similar garage that would allow other developments to use the garage until they build up other empty lots? If not is it realistic for City to buy an Xroads lot for this purpose then sell off garage later (or continue to operate).

they do not, and i would not advocate them doing so given how they've handled this river market garage (don't really want to go into that here) and the arts district garage (a horrible design that makes casual, non-PAC use nearly impossible). something is coming in the crossroads that would gobble up quite a few lots, with the first shot being the hotel at 16th & main.
