Re: OFFICIAL - East Village
I like as much stuff downtown as the next guy but I don’t see how sending an art school almost 4 miles away from the giant art museum it already sits next to makes any sense. Nuking one of the only instances of synergy in the entire metro. On the other hand, UMKC definitely needs more of a downtown ...

Re: OFFICIAL - East Village
It would be great if this area focused on residential of various types and some office development. This is the perfect area to skip the retail. We have plenty of retail downtown and plenty of retail capacity. We can’t keep making several small, self serving pockets that discourage residents from g...

Re: Fantasy Retrofits: Barney Allis Plaza
The new designs of BAP always show the plaza descending down to grade in front of Municipal Auditorium. With its massive limestone wall, I think there should be a permanent "Art on the Mart" style projection show, like they have on the riverwalk in Chicago. It brings people out! https://ww...

Re: Fantasy Retrofits: Barney Allis Plaza
Sorry, I’m going to bump this, even though it’s on the same page. I think there’s a middle ground between BAP being a raw plaza and being developed. I think the goal should be figuring out how it can be better internally into the convention complex. Maybe the overall footprint of the convention cent...

Central to Main, 6th to 8th. Six blocks. Two more than EC.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Six square blocks. More than East Crossroads, and that's what makes me mad. It was dismissed for being "too small" and then they chose something smaller. I don’t think there are 6 square blocks of open contiguous land in the north loop. Are you counting the interstate? Getting that closed...

Re: Sad...
KC has so much empty space in the core that I’m not sure older neighborhoods, SFH or not, need to be on the chopping block quite yet. One issue I have with the more extreme corners of yimbyism is the desire to go for the jugular instead of filling in empty or undercooked areas first

The Loews hotel is at the same latitude as the printing plant site. Is the Loews hotel part of the crossroads arts district?

Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium
KC finally discovering the joy of a nice walk! I’m proud of the Current for not caving to parking demands and actually making people just figure it out. There’s a lesson to be learned hereKCPowercat wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:59 am People were really enjoying the walk to the stadium from what I heard through the riverfront.

This is a great concept. Maybe it’ll reboot the Scarritt project too
