Also is it just me or does downtown KC look very small from the east. I have always found it interesting how downtown KC can look huge from some angles and tiny from others.

Expecting the Royals stadium and their district to help clean that up.

Imagine thinking this is a normal thing to do to a person and that those jobs would care.

In committee yesterday (March 1, 2023), Public Works staff presented more details on the proposed compromise. As the diagram below shows, the new configuration would be as follows:

The bike lane on the north side of the street would be removed and converted to a dedicated parking lane.
Two lanes of vehicular traffic and a two-way turning lane would remain in place.
The bike lane on the south side of the street would be converted to a two-way cycle track.

staff noted the timeline and cost for these changes. They anticipate the project to be completed in 4-5 weeks from notice to proceed depending on the weather. The changes are expected to cost about $470,000.
