The parking sign within the temporary sidewalk is VERY on-brand for Cordish.

Likely not Cordish.

I bet it's a subcontractor who doesn't get paid unless they put up the covered walkway. It's not their problem because they don't have an agreement with the city.

So they put it up and let someone else deal with problems.

Contracting out work explains so many weird situations around construction.

Agreed. But still on-brand. It is their project after all.

Will probably be fixed by noon today. Not sure how this is on-brand for Cordish?

lol. This is very true, I was sincerely wondering what was meant by this being on-brand for Cordish. I may agree, just need clarification!

I put it in the same category as the weird hose fence thing at 14th Street. Just weird closure stuff that impacts pedestrians trying to use the corridor.

But honestly, this is probably just more on brand for KCMO than Cordish specifically. Pedestrian accommodation perpetually an afterthought.

Understood. Yeah, I see somethings and scratch my head. Whenever I text or call their operations manager, he usually has a decent excuse but I'm not a big fan of his.

Oh yeah? That would be fantastic. That block has always been pretty rough for walking.

Should be a solid improvement and similar to One Light corner.

I think the concern we're getting at is much more at street level. Light pole, hydrant, etc all right in the middle of the walking zone on the sidewalk. But I suspect you're right that will all be revisited w/ the building construction. Looking forward to it!

Don't forget the oddly placed street light control boxes. Many of which get smacked by a vehicle a few times per year. Isn't there a way to located those underground?

Some places put them on the poles! Why we use those large ground-mounted boxes I couldn't say.

Yeah the traffic signal box is the biggest offender in that section. Overall don't have standards so utility companies can do whatever.
