Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I'm actually liking the fact they'll build less but I'm also wondering how they'll generate additional revenue. Higher attendance and year-round rent paying tenants in their commercial spaces are more than they have now. The higher attendance bump from a new stadium wears off after 4 to 5 years and...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Saving a couple buildings east of Oak doesn't prevent the Royals from building Hotels and Apartment buildings over there, I don't see what the big deal is. You could save half the buildings on Oak, save the fire station, and still fit 10+ one light size buildings between Oak/Cherry/Truman/17th I'm ...

Re: OFFICIAL - Buck O'Neil Bridge

Anyone seen the 119th ST bridge over I-35 in Olathe, and the lighting system they incorporated into that? I don’t imagine the Airport would take kindly to a large amount of bridge lighting that close to the runway, but I’d also see this as an easy way to dress up an otherwise unsightly and grotesque...

Re: Levy at Martini Corner (NE Corner 31st & Gillham)

We *should* (based on what the neighborhood association has been told) see construction begin on this in a month or two. While there hasn't been any permit activity in a while, the Compass project has recently-updated plans for platting . Was getting nervous with the hay being thrown down on the de...

Re: OFFICIAL - East Village

I think I'm personally sick of seeing everything new go up downtown being "luxury" myself. I think back to nearly two decades ago when I moved downtown and there was no in between. It was income restricted or high-end. I wish we'd dedicate a portion of EV to the middle section of income e...

Snooze perhaps? That seems apt for the market

Re: OFFICIAL - East Village

East Village doesn't need to be loaded with retail and restaurant space, but a handful of small corner spaces for neighborhood amenities (neighborhood bar, a small bank, bakery, clothing store, neighborhood market, etc) would be ideal. Where is the nearest Dry cleaners? Considering the proximity to...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

NY Jets and NY Giants play in New Jersey so the team(s) could still be called by Kansas City. The two newest MLB stadiums are located away from the central city in areas considered suburban and were built as suburban development plans. So being downtown isn't really considered necessary for the fin...

Can we rename the thread yet? There's a Big 12 Tournament thread (not all that far back) and I should have put my post there.

Re: Streetcar to the riverfront

This project's struggle more closely emulates other US streetcar projects (precarious funding and financing), but glad it's finally happening. It will complement the Main Street Extension nicely. Hopefully PortKC can live up to its obligations since this small segment is not inside the TDD. It shou...
