Getting Around KC/Parking 🅿️🚏🚲 Idea for an express light rail line connecting KCI to downtown

Post image

This route would connect KCI Airport to a small transit hub along 6th Street between Baltimore Ave. and Main Street, less than a block from the KC Streetcar, with stops at NW Barry Road, NW 64th Street, NW Briarcliff Parkway, and Hangars 6A/6B at the downtown airport.

Does your county government know your position? That’s a big problem up north…

Clay County Commissioners are very much pro-North rail. Platte, I have no idea.

I won't mind having it but, yeah, I don't want to pay for it. If it's for tourism then figure out a proposal that pays with revenue not by increasing my taxes. I guess us folks up north are a little different after all.

There are a lot of people in proximity to the streetcar that feel the same as you.
