Re: Downtown Streetcar Opening Day
Be pretty cool if the mayor had an announcement about a new development due to the streetcar.

Re: Downtown Streetcar Opening Day
Is the thing at 10am worth going to or is just going to be a press conference?

I'm thinking the same chuck.... I'll probably go but I'm sure it won't be much more than soundbites and back slapping.

The two parties (first stop, track (99%) completed were basically soundbites and back slapping and a time to get the media out.KCPowercat wrote:I'm thinking the same chuck.... I'll probably go but I'm sure it won't be much more than soundbites and back slapping.
The reason to go is if you really want to be on the train early in the day

Someone please do a poll of emerging Planning professionals to determine how many came to the career choice via Sim City.

Sad what Sim City has become. Fortunately there is Cities: Skylines.

Who's here? I just got a cherry limeade.

I'm sitting in a suburban car dealer's service area waiting room, unfortunately.
Re: Downtown Streetcar Opening Day
That's pretty much the antithesis of a streetcar opening.
Re: Downtown Streetcar Opening Day
I know, right? It was kind of painful. But on my way home I saw the streetcar whizzing down Main packed with a hojillion people, and to be fair, that looked potentially painful also. More fun than I was having, probably, but I'm just going to eat those sour grapes.

DT KC is in a good mood today.

Re: Downtown Streetcar Opening Day
so...uh...was there any reason signal priority was non existent today?
Re: Downtown Streetcar Opening Day
I didn't notice any particular delays, except at Union Station. Think the schedule was off due to 4 trains running, but they were one right after another in River Market.
We took two rides and walked the route twice. Drinks at Grunauer, happy hour at Harry's, horsefeathers and r&b at Tom's Town, dinner at Il Lazzerone.
Great day in the city!
