TKC TOLD YOU SO!!! KANSAS CITY TOY TRAIN STREETCAR THREATENED BY EPIC PREZ TRUMP BUDGET CUTS!!!



Specials thanks to our blog community for keeping us in the loop about the crackdown on federal transit funds proposed by Prez Trump.

On Thursday our KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY warned that the Prez Trump budget proposal targeted the toy train and brings funding to a FULL STOP under new budget goals.

Now . . . Our the newspaper catches up to our lead . . .

Dead Tree Media: Trump’s budget could affect Kansas City streetcar expansion

The "could" part of the headline is optimistic and misleading . . . TIGER GRANTS have long been a target of Republicans given that they're awarded like shameful civic welfare to politically compliant districts . . . Now, the new administration looks to refocus priorities and push forward with more substantial projects, the streetcar scheme is not included, of course . . . Given increasing rail obsolescence.

You decide . . .

    1. Wow.

      So it passed through both houses of Congress already huh? Wow.

      The key word The Star uses here is "could."

      But, see, I remember what you said.

      "Money and grant funding...has been slashed.

      "THE STREETCAR BOOM UNDER PREZ OBAMA HAS NOW BEEN CUT"

      "...the streetcar funding now at FULL STOP"

      HAS BEEN slashed. NOW BEEN cut. FULL STOP.

      Done deal, according to Kansas City's Streetcar psycho!

      But that's not really the case at all.

      Is it?

  2. Federal budget cuts are nowhere near as damaging to the streetcar folly as its utter uselessness, ridiculous expense, and inconvenience.
    DOA and yet KCMO taxpayers will be stuck with this fiasco for decades.
    What's the next BIG BIG THING?
    Mike's hotel.
    It never ends.

  7. the budget is the beginning of the negotiation.

    that's the way trump does it.

    then, hopefully it gets amended into a common-sense result.

    the common-sense result, however, might be to not expand the streetcar yet.

  8. Common sense

    Hmm we have perfectly functioning Max bus system serving Main St.

    Let's think now

  9. And self-driving cars and buses will be here before a streetcar extension would ever get completed.

  10. I applaud the elimination of New Starts, the program that gives transit agencies incentives to build expensive and obsolete transit systems.

    ReplyDelete
  11. It could still be built if locals were willing to put up 100 percent of the costs.

  13. Since the developers of expensive apartments seem to want the streetcar, and the city is giving them 15 year tax abatements, how about if they pay for the streetcar extension if they really want it?

    ReplyDelete
  14. ^^^ LOL right sure they will

  15. Keep the downtown train between the river market and union station the tourist love it but no train to the Plaza that can be dicey the crime in Midtown not enough police to patrol drive byes with automatic weapons
