every business surveyed that has reported growth should attribute it to the streetcar

Definitely not a foolproof correlation but 80% of businesses seeing revenue increases is encouraging.

*80% of businesses who replied to the survey

I really don't mind paying an extra $0.15 per beer at KCFD's if it's going to go to a streetcar that can DD me back to my loft when I'm at binge level 8 :shrugs:

i wouldn't mind it if KCMO handed me a hundred million dollar designated driver either.  you 350 people got a great deal for your vote.

Right. I'd also say if I own a business and I got a survey from the streetcar and my sales are flat or declining after all the construction crap and hype experienced...Better believe I'm filling out that survey.

I did not fill out the survey, I meant to, I just forgot to mail it back in.

SLC is super weird and gross.  Sure can bond up an airport right though....those Mormons got that right.

Lost the kci lottery this morning....AA dual gate holding area (87/88). Kiosk with chips and OJ....The 10 minutes in security line with no precheck line was cool though.

Edit...Ahhh these poor ladies behind me "do you want a coffee, I'm going to go look if they have it"....Sorry ladies, they don't. Only oJ and chips. Who wants coffee at 6am?

Edit...Oh no one of them left their phone in the car...Parked in economy....Can they make it there in back before the plane leaves....With our convenient airport no doubt right? She has 40 minutes. Stay tuned!

Edit...She made it. Kudos to that satellite driver for waiting on her out in the parking lot....Great KC love despite a bad airport sitch.

no reason it should require a public vote except a) the public doesn't want it, and b) it's the law

but who cares about those minor details if it doesn't fit your agenda
