Kansas City Rain Reality Check: Flooding FAIL For Downtown Infrastructure

Blame MODot Or City Hall . . . The reality is that the so-called Downtown Renaissance has been hampered by basic upkeep of public resources. An example from earlier today:

Water rescue shuts down I-70 at Broadway

A motorist was hospitalized Tuesday morning during what firefighters called a high-water rescue that shut down westbound lanes of Interstate 70 near Broadway Boulevard in Kansas City, MO. Kansas City Fire Department responded around 8:30 a.m. to a water rescue call in which at least two vehicles were involved in a crash in high water.

  2. How many decades has a complete failure of KCMO to maintain much of anything, including any sort of serious storm water management program, been going on now?
    These GO bonds will be long gone before there's any likelihood they'll get their feet wet.
    The insiders standing in line at city hall already have come up with more than enough "projects" to spend a measly $800 million.
    But keep those taxpayer bucks coming!
    It's important.
