I spend a lot of time in Portland, and actually was just there last week. They have done amazing things along the riverfront.

For the price of a General Motors bailout, we could probably do this.rxlexi wrote: a midtown overhaul is key and a must-do if KC is to ever come close to its potential. Main, Broadway, Troost and Armour in particular...

I'd redevelop Main Street and Broadway a la Milwaukee avenue with a solid wall of 3/4/5 stories between 39th and 31st, and I think if Armour was "let go," it would take care of itself. Sidewalks would be widened, and a few buildings around 6-9 stories on major intersections. I'd also run elevated light rail on the back of the eastern blocks along main...how you would connect with a transit system coming from downtown or how to plug into the trolley track i will not speculate.
