Kansas City things

[Phil Titola]

love all the johnson county hate in here as if KC would even exist without JoCo

Where was the JoCo hate until after this post?  I didn't see any.

Yes you are right....the metro traces it roots back to 95th & Metcalf I remember reading.

'Burbs input about city issues are cute

[meow meow]

JoCo isn't bad, but Olathe, Lenexa and most of Shawnee is lame AF

(I grew up in Olathe fwiw)

I mean yeah if you don't have kids

Well that settles it... Gizmodo has spoken out against about a 2.5B NYC line so all streetcars are bad. The NYC line does seem dumb.

if that's all you took from that article, well, i wouldn't be surprised

I would be all for sexy articulated buses too

Streetcars were removed when people fled for the burbs, now that people are back, so are the streetcars.

I took it was from Gizmodo... Far from an authority on urban planning. Every point they made they related to the NYC project.... Not smaller systems that are successful.

I dislike you as a person and a poster.

Didn't the original streetcars actually take riders to the suburbs?

is the kc streetcar going to have a dedicated lane?

I don't think they ever left the city limits of KCMO but were a way to get to/from downtown from the "suburban" neighborhoods that were to the South and East.

No

No

This streetcar sounds like a giant, free bus.

[star seed 7]

It is

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

it isnt, because buses can go further than a mile and make turns and stuff

[star seed 7]

Streetcars make turns

i'd expect nothing more from you

Lead me to your key takeaways. Teach me the ways of the objection lifestyle.

What happened to the IRL municipal gab sesh? 

[RockState2000]

I will never ride the bus. I will, in fact, ride the streetcar... Likely go to Up/Down to start my night... walk to Rieger for a little primer, jump the car and creep around Rivermarket/downtown before Uber'ing to Plaza. Can't wait for it to extend to Plaza. I wish it would sooner.

8MP, you blow goats and don't know a thing.

Streetcar hj's

No

So this thing is going to eff traffic up even more than a bus?
