While Downtown enjoys all kinds of news toys . . . Neighborhoods outside of the loop endure continued neglect, deferred maintenance and real blight when it comes to the most commonly used form of transit. Take a look: Nearly half of KC roads below fair condition

how about an audit of streets?
ReplyDeleteTime to clean house in the public works department. Starting with the queen bee herself, Sherri McIntyre.
ReplyDeleteCity Hall can ignore the streets now that we have the streetcar.
ReplyDeleteWake the fuck up, KCMO government! 45% of our roads are in poor or worse condition. This and the safety of citizens should be top priority. It's a sad day when the bar is only 30% citizen satisfaction. Sad.
ReplyDeleteNext rain,one of those council members will fall in a huge hole and ruin their car...then something will get done. It will happen. They've been doing too much evil...
ReplyDeleteSince the Funk left most of the money goes to TIF and less to the neighborhoods
ReplyDeleteWho needs streets when we have a streetcar?
ReplyDeleteMy wife has been fucking the neighbor because of the streetcar, too! Before the streetcar EVERYTHING WAS THE BEST, now it's THE WORST!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, if "nearly half" are in fair or worse shape, then the MAJORITY of our overbuilt roads (which are lightly used and run through miles and miles of sprawl where few people live and there is not enough tax base to pay for road maintenance because "density is BAAAAD") are in GOOD or EXCELLENT shape. THE MAJORITY.
ReplyDeleteSolution: quit passing away hundreds of millions of dollars every year on new roads in the Northland that carry less traffic than the "toy" train and use and maintain the ones we have.
Cure Northland Entitlement Syndrome, cut them off from sucking the core's tit and make them pay for their own sprawl.
Hey you guys! Hey, pay attention to me because I know all about transit and development. It's totally ok if most roads are fine! Just forget about the ones that aren't. Problem solved! Yay! Here's an artisanal t shirt.
Delete^^^I'm sure the Northland would be happy to become its own city trolley boy. Then who would be "cut off?"
ReplyDeleteBTW your comment at 8:59 is another NWOR. Don't you have a job?
What is NWOR?
