20th Street Streetscape
Re: 20th Street Streetscape
one thing i learned (!) from the open house was that this project will now capture the first 1.67 inches of stormwater runoff on site (above and underground). the plants (trees and grasses) will be more native than previously proposed.

Re: 20th Street Streetscape
phase 2 (main to sw blvd) starts july 25. main-to-grand opens to cars on july 30.
Re: 20th Street Streetscape
the owner of a parcel on the north side of 20th between main and baltimore refuses to give up a massive curb cut, leaving it in place -- reconstructed nicely! -- instead of stormwater management and plantings. due to budget constraints, the little triangle across from manny's is no longer in scope (it was planned to have a major stormwater feature and close that little leg of wyandotte to make more people space). the cost cutting had also removed the grand-to-mcgee section, and a federal grant to revive it was not successful.
all that said, the project looks great. if you haven't walked down the main-to-grand section yet please do. amazing finish work. plantings go in this fall, so next spring/summer it should look great. two years of maintenance and watering will be handled by the contractor.

Re: 20th Street Streetscape
no. i believe you have to apply, but there's no process for revoking them and city has indicated no interest in doing so.pash wrote:Does the city have any coherent policy on curb cuts, or can property owners get them put in wherever they want?
Re: 20th Street Streetscape
It'd be swell if the city were to do the Grand to McGee portion as a paint-only road diet to allow for at least partial continuity in the corridor.

Pretty tough not to grandfather. Public shaming is probably the only way to go.

Close it with bollards, paint it a fun color/design and put a couple benches out there. Bam, back in budget.DaveKCMO wrote: the cost cutting had also removed the grand-to-mcgee section, and a federal grant to revive it was not successful.

Re: 20th Street Streetscape
It's such a heavily used road though!
