A conversation regarding how to clean-up local streets and limit the expression of po'folk without breaking the law. Take a look:
Seg. 1: Panhandling And Pedestrian Safety In Kansas City. Seg. 2: The Vitality Of Contemporary Jazz.
Segment 1: A proposed ordinance would limit the amount of time pedestrians could spend in crosswalks and traffic islands. Though it doesn't use the word "panhandling" at all, a proposed ordinance introduced last week in the Kansas City Council clearly has the practice in its sights.
Saw a guy in a wheelchair perched on a strip of concrete that was exactly the width of his chair. We wondered how in the heck he got up there in the first place. Nerve-wracking when we saw cars zipping by on both sides of island. He and others need to be safely away from traffic. Now.
