I mean those 3 lane one way streets in downtown were designed to move way more traffic than we see these days downtown.

The only places I ever see real congestion is the areas around the Midland garage, and the p&L garages, and that's just because the demand is high & cars can only enter/exit slowly. All I know is that i can drive though DT on a weekend night faster than I can enter/exit TSC on any given game day.

See that all too often as well. Like bro, gas is $3.59 a gal, what are you doing?

I live downtown & couldn't tell you on any given day if the sprint center or power and light had an event scheduled based upon traffic and I'm only 4 blocks away. It's just not an issue. I see more traffic at 5pm from commuters going home than I do any Friday or Saturday night for what it's worth.

Today Is Earth Day, so I want to give a shout out to all the businesses with their windows and doors open today in KC on this beautifully cool 70F day while still blasting their AC!

It's fine, really,

What did they do there that you like? I'm not aware of the development

The moral panic over e-bikes is insane. Saying you can't fathom a 28mph (top speed, not avg or median) bike in a shared space all while driving cars in shared spaces that go much faster killing roughly 40,000x more people and failing to see the the irony is something all right!

Bicycle lanes are as much car infrastructure as roads, and the benefit to drivers is equal to or greater than it is for bicycle riders.

The argument for keeping the bike lanes is

For every bicycle rider who uses this lane, they are one less parking spot taken, one less car in traffic trying to get into it out of downtown, and one less car slowing you down!

also it would break the core north/south spine of our growing network. No one in their right mind would undo this, which is probably exactly why it will get undone!

If we get a car centric council I could see a push for cycle track elimination, but that would put a lot of planning and construction at risk and would eliminate a great way to actually reduce game day traffic becasue a lot of people will chose to ride bicycles rather than drive to this stadium

Controversial opinion, I don't think grandmas (or anyone) should be flying down the streets about 25mph+ with a heavy-ish car.

Grandma isn't on a trail here, she's on a public street so why the hostility?

Here is the baseball almanac alignment charts for AL teams

If your first reaction to the Royals moving downtown to Crown Center is “but what about parking?!” or “I won’t be able to tailgate before the game!” kindly, and with the exact and appropriate amount of respect (none), fuck all the way off

The rendering show saving parking lots and garages for now, so solves some of the WhErE wIlL wE pArK concerns with keeping some existing lots and garages on site

Looking at the alignment map, multiple stadiums are facing north so this isn't that odd is it?

Done, thanks

I don't think it will drive additional highway expansion. There are really good conversations around removing I 35, and removing the North Loop, way more conversations about removing than expanding.

The crazy JOCO drivers will figure it out!

I can't wait for I670 to become I70 as we rip out the north loop and deck the south loop.

I have advocated for a city entrance toll. If your trip starts outside the 435 loop and exits the 435 loop, you need to pay a transit toll. If you start outside 435 and enter the city, and exit within 24 hours you pay a toll. If you stay more than 24 hours, then no tax

You have two bicycle lanes, multiple streetcar stops, Amtrak, and multiple bus routes directly at this location. This would be our most transit accessible stadium. Plus fairly easy access via highways nearby.

I'm so thankful we all voted down the poorly planed stadium vote two years ago, this is a much better plan. No real displacement, rebuilding an imposing urban renewal develpment, harnessing new street car, amtrak & bus routes in an urban environment with room to develop a new baseball village etc!

🤣🤣🤣

I keep hoping we finally abandon I35 between 635/north loop and ship all the traffic to 635

Exactly!

Plus there is also a world class tourist attraction across the street in the WWI museum and Union Station that could draw in people before or after games as well.

This also bails out Hallmark. CC is a massive liability on the books for a company that continues to shrink both in size and profits. Email today when out that Hallmark sold their HQ and will move to offices downtown.
