i was surprised too, guess that's what the months of testing are for. how the driver hit a car so obviously out of its lane is very odd though
the record bar is moving to the crossroads http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/back-to-rockville/article63349622.html#storylink=fb_staffi don't love the location but whatever
FYI for those in midtown, a streetcar extension vote is being organized. Get your neighbors together and spread the good word. The vote will (most likely) be for a TDD along each side of Main Street up to 1/2 mile on either side of Main ending at UMKC. For comparison, the TDD for the downtown line added around $250 to my property tax bill per year....I'd think they are aiming for a similar cost for residential homeowners in midtown. Good information here:http://nextrailkc.com/main-street/

Maybe they'll find a better spot in the meantime
They had said that there was a white line showing where to keep clear of, but I don't see one in that photo.
I saw it in one earlier. Still, ppl park over lines/too close to lines all the time. What then?
So, what's the protocol on future shitty parked cars? Shut it all down until Mr Mercedes moves his car, or wait until a tow truck arrives? Seems like even the best case will delay these things a bunch.

From the other side there IS a white line. But it doesn't continue in the above shot. You can see the dashed chalked line route in the above photo. For some reason they didn't continue the line yet. Mercedes driver is a dumbass for parking so stupid, streetcar driver is a dumbass for not stopping, and the City/contractor is at fault for not having proper markings in place.
