Re: Jackson County Regional Rail Plan

KCS plans to upgrade their Missouri infrastructure including instances of double tracking. Believe this includes KC area. I know the previous commuter plan wanted to use a few KCS lines so this could be good news. You mean CPKC? I don’t know how decisions are made at the new entity but I would not ...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Common use Meaning multiple airlines? So like an Amex Escape? 3rd Party... like an AMEX Excape, Capital One, priority pass, etc. Doubtful AMEX given the Delta lounge but who knows Will be a CAVU Escape lounge. Free access with priority pass. so included with a platinum card or sapphire reserve

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Map of the vote. https://www.datawrapper.de/_/gnIRR/ Kind of makes me think Brookside might support extending the streetcar out to them after all. Can not afford it without regional funding, state funding, a federal grant, or getting the cost down. I vote for lets put some feelers out there and tac...

You drew $400 million + in highway improvements. May as well just built LRT there with a $400 million state contribution.

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

NK adding daily NYC(Newark) and BOS from KCI. I believe this will more than replace the capacity lost when B6 pulled out. Hardly a 1 for 1 replacement though. tired of being serviced by budget airlines. Even though jet blue probably is classified as budget it's definitely was better than Spirit. Je...

MAC is done until they see city council warming up to incentives again.

Over .500 with a few disappointing losses. I think the team needs to learn to play better together. Feels like we can get there. Seems they have the energy for sure. The losses so far were very much manageable, and had and obvious near single point of failure. A comeback win and a solid performance...

Re: Katz on Main

Best case scenario: pool abandoned and old Katz space returned to retail. Typically this builder finished the pool last and offers residents a few $$$$ hundred-thousand deal until those amenities open. Kind of a good deal to test the location out and gets revenue going earlier than waiting for 100%...

Rest assured galleries are still very much part of the event.

Posted on another thread......I'm on an east coast trip. The 4 wheeler antics happen even here on streets that are 22' wide and have pedestrian enhancements.
