$250k city contribution to the garage each year increasing 5% a year for 25 years to provide FREE evening and weekend parking? Have you absorbed none of the lessons KCMO?

If this math is correct, it's absolutely not $7 million.

5% annual increases over 25 years each year is a total of
$11,931,774.70

It was just a rudimentary calculation whith no time to sit and do all of the math. No need to be a dick about it but thanks for figuring it out to the last 70 cents.

Should never have to sit down and figure numbers when there's free spreadsheet software available to do it for you.

Enter $250k in A1, enter =A1*1.05 in A2 and fill down to row 25. Then use sum in A26 to get the total.
Takes 20 seconds.

I don't comment on here a lot, and this shitty, condescending attitude is why. No wonder fewer and fewer people are joining or commenting.

You call me a dick after I give an accurate number to save everyone the time to figure it out and I have a bad attitude?

Yeah, that adds up...

Maybe don't assume everyone has a bad attitude and you'll have a better time. I don't assume everyone is a jerk or a troll and it works out better.

I've asked the city manager (on Twitter, anyway) what the source of funds is. It seems odd to commit the city to this for 25 years with nary a word or action by the Council. I suspect it will come from "parking revenue" -- which is meter and ticket revenue. Irony noted!

It makes sense long-term if the City is considering rebuilding the Barney Allis Plaza parking garage, or losing some of that parking to the UMKC campus. They will need to provide alternative parking for the convention hotels that use the BAP garage while a new garage is built, or if spaces are lost to the UMKC project.

Couldn't they make the money by charging for parking? Or at least a reasonable amount? Like, why free?

Garages aren't profitable because of the initial cost + operating overhead. That's why they're often incentivized, municipally owned/managed, or dedicated to one user who can cover the losses.

Here's the city manager's response to how it would be paid for (sort of a non-answer): https://twitter.com/KCMOManager/status/ ... 2156352513
