Westport is at a tipping point.
Increased development and building has brought in more patrons and party-goers . . . While the uptick in traffic is nice, the crowds are also bringing more violence. Property crime, muggings and now gunfights have dominated headlines this Summer.
And so . . .
CHECK THE TKC FIRST LOOK AT THE UPCOMING WESTPORT CRACKDOWN AMID INCREASED KANSAS CITY VIOLENCE!!!
Here's a quick review and preview of measures on the table ACCORDING TO KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS . . .
1. Bigger, Better Street Privatization
Pennsylvania & Westport isn't going to cut it . . . Look for plans to block off Mill Street as well.
2. Parking Crackdowns On Broadway
Party people aren't going to be able hang out on this busy street as merchants are asking City Hall for new signage and increased patrols for busy weekends.
3. Higher Parking Fees Overall
$5 bucks isn't keeping unsavory characters away . . . Insiders tell us that fees could double within a year if the violence continues to escalate.
And so, as the weekend approaches . . .
WILL THIS CRACKDOWN KEEP WESTPORT SAFE???
Remember, these are simply PROPOSED measures that most (but not all) Westport insiders support . . . Coming up with the ideas is easy but confronting City Council and local activist opposition is what threatens to stall the public safety plan.
Developing . . .
Might be too late.
ReplyDeleteAt least for this Summer.
Closing time is what should really be on the table.
It will just chase off the crap into surrounding residential neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteOther solutions to the invasion of the Westport , Plaza by the inner city youth scholar's hood rats that want to cause trouble would be to charge a cover , say $10 , allow no cars into the main attraction areas and put more aggressive big bad ass cops there to walk the beat with police dogs .
ReplyDeleteWhen the trash is hauled out of Westport for good, then it will be a safer place to be seen in.
ReplyDeleteBy trash you mean "black people," of course. You're getting as bad as Tony when it comes to keeping your head up your ass.
DeleteIt keeps you in the darkm
Pizza party didn't fix it?
ReplyDeleteThe blacks only come down there for the easy white women , keep your white women at home and they will disappear! Trust me!!!
ReplyDelete#3 Parking Fees "unsavory characters" = blacks
ReplyDeleteSuper Dave said it best !
ReplyDeleteMaybe even some sort of dress code ? No pants hanging down the butt , no massive gold chains , no racially offensive smelly t - shit slogans ?
ReplyDeleteYou mean fake gold chains, right
DeleteSet up barriers with wristbands and a cover charge, along with a dress ode. Blast country music. No loitering along buildings. They wouldn't let dozens of white, Hispanic, or Asian kids line the street between Kelly's and whatever the old America's Public is now why do they let black people do it? Why are violent non-paying thugs allowed to line the street and fuck with paying customers trying to have a good time? Otsego time to hurt black people's feelings. So what if they scream racism, fuck them. It's time the business owners of this city tell Sly how the fuck it's going to be.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit , 9:39 Nailed it ! Spot on Super grandmaster wizard solution for the inner city youth scholar's hood rats that want to cause trouble ! Why not try it for a few weeks , can't hurt anything may prevent crime and violence against American human beings !
ReplyDelete@9:32 nails it.
ReplyDeleteDress code!
Let's have some standards in KC, please.
^^^ if you didn't like Tony's take on it, you wouldn't keep coming back or visiting late at night. Quit yer bitchin. And stop blaming everyone else for how badly you screwed up your life.
ReplyDeleteBlacks are the problem, as always
ReplyDeleteYes , keeping out those whacked out gang bangers with fake gold chains , holy shit , another stabbing in Westport tonight ? Middle of the damn week on hump day ?
ReplyDeletejust get rid of their security. they dont do anything. turn all the money over to kcpd to run it. kcpd does all the work anyway. that cheesy security company does not do CRAP. i'd rather see more kcpd than security that says "we will notify kcpd." more cops, bottom line.
ReplyDeletewe could all just chain them up in the basement of Kelly's
ReplyDeleteHope Valentine Homes Association is ready for Westport's Problem to be pushed into the residential area.
ReplyDeleteOnly ending the 3am liquor license will solve this.
