SHOCK!!! NEIGHBORHOOD OUTCRY OVER KANSAS CITY NORTHEAST CUT OFF!!!
Once again Kansas City's urban core could soon become an unwilling test subject of experimental street planning efforts.
As always, the Northeast News leads the discussion . . .
Northeast residents voice concerns over I-70 study
Public meetings are now the focus of the story . . . MO House Rep. John Rizzo has already taken an active role in surveying neighborhood concern.
Jackson County Legislator Theresa Garza Ruiz has also been sending out messages to her constituents regarding the plans on the table.
But best of all, a Kansas City Insider offer us this perspective . . .
"This is just another effort to cut off the urban core and Northeast from the rest of Kansas City. It's in the design stages now and unless there's a lot more neighborhood outcry then it's a done deal. Sadly, we talk a lot about connecting neighborhoods and business in the Kansas City metro but this plan represents what seems like an ongoing effort to limit accessibility."
As always, keep up with developments @ The Northeast News.

Hope MO Dot runs out of money first.
I am happy some public officials are not just lying down these exits are very important to us in Northeast.
Why dont they close some south ,its always the minority community that suffers.
active role in surveying meaning sending out a survey but not coming to neighborhood meetings.
More importantly, what do the Somalis want?
The exits into Northeast are important they are the gateway. The hiway dept needs to understand.
This is just a survey hopefully they will take public input and not walls us in.
This effect all people on the north and south of truman road.
Is it true what people say about Rizzo's organized crime connections?
"There is no such thing as the Mafia."
I wish people would stop with the outrageous comments this is serious. I hope that someday they would grow up.
A wuss gangster and a stinky canyon cunt are gonna save you!
lmao
it's a public forum, people need to speak up and stop this effort.
Why did Ms. Garza-Ruiz refuse to move to the Northeast when her husband got a city job, when he had to live in the city limits and she had to live in the first (county) legislative district. Instead, she begged Calvin Williford to have the county districts changed, so she had the option to live near Truman East?
Northeast residents need to get over it...I-70 isn't your private boulevard. Everybody else in the metro has exits 1 mile or more apart. We manage.
Is Theresa's daughter still turnin tricks?
I'd like to give Johnny Joe the benefit of the doubt but, as a board member of one of the neighborhood associations within northeast, I can unequivocally say that neither our association nor any of our members that tend to relay such activities at either the city, county or state level have yet heard anything from the rep or his office.
Hopefully they put stop lights on I-70 like they did 71 hwy!!!'
The rest of the country is tearing out unnecessary and city-killing interstates, while KC is doubling down on subsidizing sprawl and making sure cars have priority over everything else.
Royster was right.
