Redistricting

http://northeastnews.net/pages/kcmo-red ... boundaries
In 1966, when Ilus Davis was the mayor of Kansas City, there were 79,000 residents per council district. Council districts were redrawn in 1968 to keep the districts even, and again in 1970, this time with a population of 85,000 per district.

Fun math 8n that article.

To reach 84500 per
the 1st needs to lose 7775
The 4th 5880
The 2nd 4510

= 18165, or 20% of a district.

So the northland is hovering around 2.4-2.5 districts. Depends on the growth in the 4th north of the river

I never said it’s not a bad look. Learn to read.

Watching the redistricting committee. So, is there a good chance that the city will have 5 suburban council districts and only 1 urban?

Downtown, midtown and the plaza-westport is the ubran core. Everything else is suburbs. They're very old suburbs but they were called Streetcar Suburbs for a reason.

In 2010 the city had 0.5 urban and 6.5 suburban districts. the 4th was basically those three neighborhoods, Historic NE suburbs and northland suburbs
It's going to stay 0.5 urban seats because downtown and midtown grew while the east side shrunk but not faster than the northland did.

The city is on it's way to being 3 districts to the north, without redoing the council district makeup the city council will grow whiter and more suburban with time. It was the council opening up Second Creek that made it inevitable. When developers start putting homes en mass there in we could see 10,000 people added every few years to the city. It's not unlikely KCMO is well past 550k in 2030 with 275k in the northland and 50k downtown.

It goes way beyond that.

Clay County EDC has a group looking at starting our equivalent of College Blvd. The "587" project.

http://www.clayedc.com/news/newsRelease ... tegic.html
The most dramatic element of the Big Four involves development of vacant land at one of Greater Kansas City’s most strategic locations, I-435 and Highway 152. Christened the 587 Project by adding the two highway numbers, the effort would launch market and land-use studies to help develop the largely vacant three corners of the interchange.
KCMO has maybe ten years to figure out how to scale up downtown development big time before Clay County reaches the point it is in a position to eclipse downtown.

In 10 years KCMO should seriously consider breaking off from the northland expect for the Airport. The airport can be like Kaliningrad Russia

I don't think Northland will ever de annex from KCMO. I would be surprised if so. The key is to develop smartly (and DENSELY), so that the infrastructure doesn't become more of a financial burden.

Interesting, first I have heard of the '587 Project.' I live over by there. The land is currently owned by the Morman Church land bank, as was most of the land around here. I was mostly hoping the land wouldn't just become more sfh; I know it's a MPD on the area plan and the developer hired an architech to make up a few drawings of a Zona Rosa type mixed use over there.

If anything this deserves it's own thread.

If KCMO wants to beat the Northland...its most current signature project (aside from streetcar, I suppose) is the airport in the Northland. Maybe refocus the big projects back to the urban core.
