Roasterie Expansion Update
Re: Roasterie Expansion Update
The Roasterie is planning to put a drive-through at its location on Southwest Boulevard and at 43rd and main (an addition to the existing building there). The first one is a Boulevard- which I thought the city just passed a Parkway and Boulevard Standards that does not allow drive-thrus, while the second one is not a parkway or boulevard, it is directly on the identified expansion route of the streetcar (and main has long been selected as a mass transportation corridor). In their markup of the new building they even included the Max station situated directly in front of the building.

It seems like these drive-thru concepts are a problem for the envisioned uses along those corridors.

It's not on the attached PDF, but maybe the SW Blvd drive thru will actually be on 27th.
Re: Roasterie Expansion Update
I drove down SW Blvd over the weekend - looks like the Roasterie drive thru is directly on SW Blvd and whatever corner the main Roasterie building is on. I can't believe SW Blvd is part of the boulevard system - there isn't much going on from an upkeep or beautification perspective.WSPanic wrote:It's not on the attached PDF, but maybe the SW Blvd drive thru will actually be on 27th.

Interesting - I did not know about that 43/Main Roasterie location. Is it part of the H&R block space or will it be separate?
Re: Roasterie Expansion Update
It looks to be an addition to the HR Block building based on that rendering, but i don't know how current that was.

I don't know why, but I never envisioned the Roasterie to be the kind of company that would even consider adding drive thrus.kboish wrote:It seems like these drive-thru concepts are a problem for the envisioned uses along those corridors.

Block has another location at 39th and Main. Perhaps, they are selling this location?

They don't.
Re: Roasterie Expansion Update
So a separate structure?

Re: Roasterie Expansion Update
Looks like they're leasing the space, the owner of the property lives in Independence.

Re: Roasterie Expansion Update
It's a building 'expansion'. Construction has started, NE corner of 43rd/Main has construction fencing, now ripping up the surface lot. The H&R Block building facade also being ripped off. Apparently will be new facade to match or complement expansion.chrizow wrote:Interesting - I did not know about that 43/Main Roasterie location.
