There's about 20 dumb hicks with fresh tickets today. Parking patrol was hitting it hard an hour ago.

Re: Make Grand Grand
If there aren't signs telling people that's pretty poor of the city honestly and I'd fight that ticket if I were them.
Re: Make Grand Grand
Areas they were ticketing are no-parking or loading only zones. Signage is very clear.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 3:01 pm If there aren't signs telling people that's pretty poor of the city honestly and I'd fight that ticket if I were them.

Re: Make Grand Grand
This by far & away the most confusing thread on Rag.

Re: Make Grand Grand
there is nothing marking that's a bike lane right now. This is all about to be resolved so much ado about nothing.
Re: Make Grand Grand
There’s painted graphics that depict a person on a bicycle in the bike lanes.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 8:02 pm there is nothing marking that's a bike lane right now. This is all about to be resolved so much ado about nothing.
Project is delayed as well so who knows when the delineators will be installed.
Re: Make Grand Grand
Exactly. Each block has it clearly marked with paint and signage stating "Bike Lane"DColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 8:10 amThere’s painted graphics that depict a person on a bicycle in the bike lanes.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 8:02 pm there is nothing marking that's a bike lane right now.

Re: Make Grand Grand
If you can't figure out that you should not park over the top of a marked bike lane (signs or not), then yeah, I guess you are dumb hicks. Even if all you can see is a line (painted bike symbol not nearby), why would you park in an area that is not even wide enough for a car? It's obviously a bike lane. Come on.

Re: Make Grand Grand
I went up there last night even though I had no reason to just to check out if this is as bad as everyone is saying.
Sure enough literally not a single person was parked correctly. How can literally not a single person get it. Parking over painted lines has to at least raise a red flag for someone to think twice about what they’re doing right?
If you saw the crazy guy riding a motorcycle down Grand calling out to people “you’re parked in the bike lane” you may have seen me.

Why am I still talking about this? It isn't marked as a bike lane. One block is.GRID wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 9:24 amIf you can't figure out that you should not park over the top of a marked bike lane (signs or not), then yeah, I guess you are dumb hicks.

The problem becomes if you are trying to park in an open spot and everybody else is at the curb you cant float as you'll then block the curb parker's in. The answer was to block off parking until it was complete.
Re: Make Grand Grand
That’s insane lol it’s pretty obvious what’s a bike lane, what’s parking, and what’s a driving lane. KC has to get over its car crush entitlements.

Re: Make Grand Grand
Brian Platt says they’re going to add some barriers this week. He also they’re gonna start enforcing the illegal parking rules.
Re: Make Grand Grand
This is the correct answer. I'm sure this will be OK once complete, with separation/demarcation fully in place.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 10:10 am The answer was to block off parking until it was complete.

Re: Make Grand Grand
That’s fine. Would hope the long term plan still involves landscaping like the renderings

Re: Make Grand Grand
Was this planned or is this just because Rag bitched about it so hard that it reverberated all the way back to Brian Platt’s office?

Re: Make Grand Grand
I think I finally understand the plan here.
So, they're only going to fund this south of Truman...and it's only going to look like Gillham with just bollards, curb bumpouts & no green paint.
Is that it? So we end up with no landscaping, just bumpouts?
