Less than 10% margin is enough that it can be moved. A lot of the KCMO, but especially the Urban KCMO votes could be swayed with some refinement, and an actual semi competent campaign. I’m disappointed with the outcome, but nothing that can’t be overcome. Let’s all keep motivated and optimistic, eve...

Y'all really don't read my posts on this subject, do you? KCT isn't a tenant advocacy organization. It's also not a "KC" organization. And, "Affordable" housing isn't their game or goal. Their funding comes from exactly where you'd expect it to come from.. out of town interests....

I’m confused as to how they were able to use them for the airshow then?

I get that the logistics are probably a lot easier this way, but it seems like a HUGE missed opportunity to not leverage some of the bus capacity of the weekday RideKC busses that are otherwise sitting dormant. Why aren’t we doing everything we can to create subconscious goodwill and familiarity wi...

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...

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 ...

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...

What more is there to study honestly? They’ve done all the work, they just need funding mechs to secure construction from the sound of it

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...

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...

The Women’s Cup will be played at the Current Stadium this summer. Exciting seeing these announcements continue Kansas City’s CPKC Stadium and Louisville’s Lynn Family Stadium will serve as cohosts for this year’s events, which will feature two four-team tournaments this summer. The full TWC USA fi...

Snooze perhaps? That seems apt for the market

Picked someone up yesterday evening. Sign said terminal parking limited and to use economy. Which got me thinking when are they going to get real time availability going for surface lot? Annoying Arrivals parking control were out in force keeping the curb lane clear. I assume given spring break tim...

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...

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...
