Oh thank god. We did not need another event space that sits empty most of the day.

Looks awesome thanks for sharing.
I found them on their own greenline website so I thought it wasn't Tracks 215 directly
KCMO has an RFP for a study of the Southern route segment from Freighthouse to Paseo Blvd. Funding for the study has been approved.

Eastern segment. It's not really a northen segment even though it would be the most northern portion

1705 Walnut to get a shell reconstruction. I assume this means the facade will be upgraded from the current sheet metal.

The roof fell in, I think. It had been used as indoor parking for the Bishop McCann building next door.

522 East 18th Street has a development plan from Abbot
We are requesting a vacation of an alleyway at 1734 Cherry St, Kansas City, MO 64108. Our goal is to turn the empty lot located on the Northwest Corner of 18th and Cherry (522 E. 18th St) into a vibrant corner with an outdoor picnic style seating area and either a food truck or trailer concept that allows the opportunity for small start up food company to have a place to grow a brand. We believe this concept will help to continue the growth of the Crossroads East area into a vibrant and inclusive outdoor community for city residents to enjoy.

The lot is dirt right now. Excellent! He owns the building that Lifted Spirits is in, but not the one crossfit occupies. One door down (formerly Union) was for sale, but the sign is gone -- I suspect he bought that. Either way, the alley vacation wouldn't all go to Abbott in this case.

Not sure why the alley alongside Lifted Spirits needs to be vacated to accommodate a food truck and picnic seating on the corner.
It looks like the vacation might block rear access to adjacent buildings that front 18th street, maybe even some fronting Locust like Mean Mule Distillery.

Should they rename the area to Abbotroads? That guy buys up everything. At least they do good work.

He did already rebrand the area Crossroads East.

Speaking of Abbott Properties, tenant Josey Records is moving into the hold Normal Human space on McGee and the Josey space on Oak will become a restaurant (it already has a kitchen from its previous incarnation as an event space).

I think it was "steakhouse". Since Abbott leases to Bread & Butter, I assumed it might be a version of Stock Hill (but that's just an assumption).
