What if...we preserve the existing Buck O'Neil bridge and create an #iconic public park to honor his legacy? Sometimes, you just need to see it to believe it...

This is your periodic reminder that outdoor vehicle storage takes up more land in Downtown Kansas City than every other use combined. Not counting thousands of street and podium spaces.

The former Katz Drug Store at 3948 Main St. for months has been under contract. Late yesterday, prospective buyer Lux Living filed plans for an 192-apartment addition to the historic building, which in 2019 was included on a citywide Most Endangered list. https://t.co/VFpvHoVELP

the more we expand into undeveloped areas, the larger our sewer/water network becomes and the more expensive and difficult it becomes to service and maintain. this is the same principle that plagues our roads--a large network of roads is difficult and expensive to maintain.
