I know a restaurant owner in the RM and spoke to him right after the meters went in. He could care less about where his customers park but he was very concerned about his employees. The meters have time limits and they have to run out and feed them during their shift and can barely afford the cost,...

TBD if it sticks.

That’s a good bit of capacity

Convention center is only like 375k in pretty sure

Maybe for people familiar with downtown. Those unfamiliar probably don't know enough to know how far the "hassle" from a game extends. But the rest of my post is really about how all the things many of us wish for (greater employment, more housing, more events, conventions etc...) is goin...

…any business that doesn't cater to baseball fans that's open during the evening will be screwed by this. Look at the NFL Draft as an example… This is a pretty disingenuous false equivalency. A sealed and secure single weekend event that caters primarily to out of town guest exclusively for that ev...

Why isn't there a concentrated push to counter misperceptions about parking? Or that some of the revenue from the hotel/conference center would go into the team payroll instead of the owner's pockets? Or the benefit of reducing subsidies to the P&L? Or that taking the streetcar could result in ...

That’s an assault on the senses

Is that the case? I had seen on their website they are still intending to expand passenger service

Your subjective feeling on a word doesn’t negate the published definition:

Correct. The second Busch Stadium was there before Eagleton was built. Security requirements were different back then than they are now. Such a project likely wouldn’t occur today (example: Feds have played with demoing some buildings in Chicago that are too close to one of their buildings. I can’t...

I do think there's time to get the word out. If for some reason this vote fails, I think we can expect another try in the fall and if that fails, we have lost our one chance at downtown baseball. They will not be renovating Kauffman and they just need to say that, amongst other things. They need to...

I honestly had no idea the extent to which something like having other buildings nearby would affect the feds' view of security of their own buildings. I mean the presence of other building wouldn't seem to affect the possibility of a truck borne IED... maybe sniper attacks..? I digress because I'm...

https://i.imgur.com/QyEkFhA.jpeg The top two outlined structures are the FAA/FTA building, and it’s associated parking garage, the southern is the Richard Bolling federal facility, and it’s associated parking infrastructure. The cost that FPS, GSA, and by extension the American tax payer is liable ...

That’s the infuriating part, is the anti-downtown stadium types have hijacked the messaging coming from the EC skeptics and turned their message equally into an anti downtown stadium

The Royals and Chiefs have over a million dollars to spend on this campaign as of today but there’s been nothing. They’re trying to be sensitive to the tragedy our City experienced last week which I understand but they need to hit back at all the negativity out there. Of course they want a United f...

It's funny about the Feds concerns about safety. I know times are different now but I remember there was a post office in the building open to the public. Commercial businesses were at street level on the south side (one was a jeweler I knew). The public could come in and eat a cheap lunch at the c...

Federal Courthouse security is managed by the U.S. Marshals, not FPS.

Color me skeptical on the Feds shut this down narrative that is now bubbling up. We all know the Feds can present obstacles to get projects to completion, but just like the FAA there are exceptions given all the time. I mean, in Chicago the Federal Building and GSA building are located in the Loop ...
