Re: St. Regis Apartments Rehab Will Get Financing, Tax Credits

Has this project stalled out? Haven’t seen progress since they tore out the sidewalk on Linwood a few weeks ago.

Re: East Side Development

Regrettably, the chunky old brick apartment building at 33rd and Paseo partially collapsed and then was demolished a couple months ago. It was the last remnant of multifamily pre-war housing between Linwood and Armour. Was this on the north side of 33rd? Is anyone aware of development plans in this...

Re: BrookSider Closed For Liquor Law Violation

Irish Ale on tap has been hard to find this year. 3 of the 4 places I've been to that have it on tap were out. Shoutout to Whitehorse Pub on North Oak.

Why just a street? I propose renaming Overland Park, KS to honor Rev. King. That would make a statement.

This may be the last time I kick this thread. Someone else could take the torch and keep this timeless verse from sinking into obscurity, or just let it sink into the waves, consigned to the depths of the ceaseless tides of the internet.

Re: Bike Lanes

Cyclists' "last block" problem is analogous to drivers' "free parking in front" problem. If you can't walk the last block, maybe you should call an Uber.

Re: Trails

Liberty also just opened a new segment of trail. they converted an old road into another part of the Cates Creek Greenway (291 parallel). This gives a trail from basically the southern city limits where the old river bed is to the Jefferson Park apartments For recreational uses only. The road is ve...

Re: new parking lot landscaping

I just don't know, Slim. Not very many trees are hardy enough to survive being surrounded by acres of concrete. I think I've seen more stunted, diseased and damaged trees along urban streets and parking lots than healthy ones. And judging from the condition of parking lots around the city, owners ar...

Re: new parking lot landscaping

Huh? Show some research. Native grass is nice and all but can only do some of the things I mentioned, sometimes as well, but differently than trees. Grass can't intercept rainfall from above the paving and hold it. Trees cool cities a lot more effectively that grasses. Why not have both trees and n...

Re: new parking lot landscaping

Why trees and shrubs? They require a lot of water and maintenance. On the other hand, native grasses and flowers can provide an effective screen, better condition the soil to absorb runoff, and require minimal maintenance once established.
