@EggrolI You get it cheap because the factories aren’t paying their workers.

[Brent Toellner @btoellner]

This is a solid thread. But I think it gives the KC Tenants more credit than they probably deserve. This was doomed with or without them. 1/x

@RyanRosenblatt Get concrete plans, negotiated signed binding CBA's and talk to the very people being fisplaced and how they will be made whole before announcing a ballot initiative and i think they would have gotten it.

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

The people of Kansas City and Jackson County love the Chiefs and the Royals.  Today, they rejected plans and processes they found inadequate.

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

✅ Area Business Protections Downtown. Oak Street will stay open with no City condemnation of businesses east of Oak. Future negotiation will be collaborative, necessarily.

[KCCrossroads.org @KCCrossroads]

We gave @KMBZradio an update on our negotiation with the Royals on Friday. An agreement has not been signed.

Remember this promise:

Mayor Lucas: “There is change coming to the neighborhood, that’s change that will HAVE to be collaborative. That is change that will NOT be coercive. And I think that makes a world of difference.”

[Sam McDowell @SamMcDowell11]

I asked Mayor Lucas about the city’s financial commitment to the stadium projects, the possibility of eminent domain, the reasons for his initial hesitation to endorse Question 1, and what he believes comes next if it fails. Printed his answers in full: https://t.co/qTugZPWnwo

My @KCStar colleagues and I spent a lot of time speaking with Jackson County voters this week about their thoughts on the stadiums sales tax vote

Having never been to Green Dirt Farm in Weston, I didn’t know what to expect. I got an exceptional dining and spirits experience at the new Green Dirt on Oak and one of the finest building rehabs in the city. Great work to Green Dirt and designer Tom Stiller. Be sure to visit!

@Paula68154 I think we’d all love more time.

[Madison Flitch / Madison Stitch @madisonflitch]

As yikes as this may sound, this is actually a good thing—signals the Royals are open to integrating within the area and allowing the proper amount of time to negotiate with the area’s concerns.

[Jonathan Lewis Ketz @JonKetz]

.⁦@KansasCity⁩ ⁦@Royals⁩ CEO John Sherman says the properties east of Oak and whether they get demolished for the team’s proposed entertainment district will be discussed ‘on the other side of April 2nd.’ ⁦@fox4kc⁩

[Madison Flitch / Madison Stitch @madisonflitch]

@RoyHAL_9000 Not following your question, but I’m just saying that given the reality of this imperfect situation, this move signals that some businesses east of Oak *might* go untouched. We have opportunities now to make that happen.

[Madison Flitch / Madison Stitch @madisonflitch]

Big.

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

For those wondering, even with a yes vote on ⚾️ and 🏈, Oak Street won’t be closing and Kansas City will not support any forced business closures by condemnation east of Oak Street.

We don’t control all. We do control our tools. We’re all here to build our city working together

[Madison Flitch / Madison Stitch @madisonflitch]

@kclightrail Agreed—and you and the biard have done a great job protecting our interests with a short runway.

[Madison Flitch / Madison Stitch @madisonflitch]

@RyanRosenblatt Yeah, it’s still unclear.

[Madison Flitch / Madison Stitch @madisonflitch]

“After the vote, we will continue this collaborative and thoughtful process with the Mayor, City Council and Crossroads small businesses on integrating the ballpark district and neighborhood,” the team said in a statement to KCUR.

[Savannah @savannahhawley]

The Royals announced they changed their plans to keep Oak Street open. But they say they’ll keep the development planned for that area, and the fate of small businesses there is still uncertain.
