Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

You’re a cry baby, anytime someone talks bad about sports on this form all of you get so bunched up. I think it’s a terrible investment regardless of how much money it brings to the city because our city isn’t going to use the money wisely they’re just going to continue to put it in their pockets. ...

Great work! If that's not an expression of interest, I don't know what is.

Re: Trees in KC (ongoing)

100% moving transmission lines underground, even incrementally over a long time frame, would be laudable for the numerous benefits it would have in terms of reliability, interactions with trees, beautification, etc. Not saying it wouldn't be an expense but it's something that should be nibbled at a...

Re: Best Local Trails

My wife got an ebike and it has been a wild success in getting us to explore new trails without worrying about hills.

She turns it off on flat parts so she still feels like she's getting good exercise.

She spends a lot of time waiting on me now.

Re: I-70

Except it doesn't work that way. 3 lanes add a complexity that doesn't exist with 2 lanes. You end up with trucks mostly in the right lane, most of the cars and passing trucks in the middle lane and 15-20 mph over the limit in the left. Except for metro areas, I much prefer the 2 lane predictability...

Yes, put all of our resources into creating mind blowing pedestrian bridges across the through streets.

Make it a feature.
