no. we have no money. that entire project is our northern border and we deserve a voice in the design.KCPowercat wrote:Like to share the costs?DaveKCMO wrote:...and no one's involving the crossroads.
I'd agree...seems like they are in the "how much money will this cost to do anything" phase, not the design phase.DaveKCMO wrote:no. we have no money. that entire project is our northern border and we deserve a voice in the design.KCPowercat wrote:Like to share the costs?DaveKCMO wrote:...and no one's involving the crossroads.
Neighborhoods must be involved at the point someone has figured out which options are even possibleKCPowercat wrote: I'd agree...seems like they are in the "how much money will this cost to do anything" phase, not the design phase.
um, no. they are surely not doing a final design, but they must make certain design assumptions (routing of truman, VACATION of walnut, water/sewer impacts, number of blocks included) to get to a cost estimate. we've asked repeatedly to be involved in DTC's discussions and not one peep.KCPowercat wrote:I'd agree...seems like they are in the "how much money will this cost to do anything" phase, not the design phase.DaveKCMO wrote:no. we have no money. that entire project is our northern border and we deserve a voice in the design.KCPowercat wrote:

Terrible idea to vacate Walnut as seen in one or more of the Cordish renderings.DaveKCMO wrote:KCPowercat wrote:DaveKCMO wrote: VACATION of walnut

if your focus is streetcar speed and reliability (the only reason to dedicate space to transit), you don't need to remove cars from main street in the crossroads. you need to remove them from truman to 12th. a simpler fix for the crossroads section would be to reduce or eliminate the on-street parking.flyingember wrote:Get rid of the cuts, a train only street from Truman to Pershing could be doable.
That's way cheaper than I expectedldai_phs wrote:Cap to cost $140 M. Would create ~$500m in value. Per New HNTB study.

Exactly. I think everyone wants this done but there just isn't enough private funding to help kickstart this.WoodDraw wrote:I just can't figure out where the money will come from.
