NKC City Council is having special public meeting on Armour tomorrow evening (October 15) at 6 pm. I'd encourage anyone in the region who supports bike infra to attend, and reach out to BikeWalkKC who is doing some organizing for it.

I'd go through all the developers listed for projects here: http://nextkansas.city/development-database Find their website, email or an employee on LinkedIn. Reach out for a coffee. Offer some free work or include some thoughts on their development(s). Industry knows a lot about itself, so talking w...

I said this was happening months ago and was not believed.

(or maybe others just thought it best to not comment)

I’d love for the city to pull development rights from the current East village developer and give it to a Royals controlled entity. City has full control of one block, parcels in a few others – not sure that's gonna be an effective strategy. I don’t understand. We have a developer for East Villafe ...

This "club" is one of couple places modern DJ culture is actually happening in KC now – something completely missing to this point. Sorry they're not buying much food at 10:30p, but it's a good look for our scene.

There will be 6 debates, 6 other events with both candidates. https://www.kmbc.com/article/kc-mayoral ... s/27080030

In the dimensions that aren't vertical, yes.

Why are they building a mini-Leawood a mile from downtown? What a waste.

Work is happening – would be surprised to see ground break in 2019, though.

HQ2 choices were about availability of talent, plain and simple. There's an equation for attracting that talent that transit fits into, though.

Jolie. No doubt.

Was in Wichita for the first time a couple weeks back, some big things happening. Good to see. - Union Station is undergoing a complete renovation. - Next door, Cargill is wrapping a large office building. - Few noticably newer apartment developments (including one that's a half conversion of a park...

It's unnerving since there are so many good bike lanes all over that city as well. There are a few, but the bike lane network really isn't that strong – and they rarely will get you to near the front door where you're trying to go. Living in DC, people do use the sidewalk a good bit – I've never re...

Looks like the satellite update is from a Saturday morning about ~10am. Swaths of empty parking in Crossroads, while River Market surface parking is near capacity.
