Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
So I have some inside knowledge about the "armature" fountains. The original RFP (in the early 1990s) was for an expensive electronic billboard to flash messaging about KC for cars speeding toward I-29 (a smaller version of this idea was in fact built later), but the Department of Aviation somehow got screwed by the vendor. So they backed off the "sign" and with the remaining funds instead decided to build a cheaper arrivals feature in the form of these fountains.
(My father's architectural engineering practice worked on the site plan for it, which is now the arrivals fountains for the city.)

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
anybody been inside. Does it feel wide enough? Wide enough for some kiosks down the middle? I remember width of the coordiors was a concern for some. It SEEMS wide enough especially for KCI level traffic.

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
I could care less about the fountain. The real icon here is gonna be that City Market display.
