Thankfully, most of these meetings are packed with consultants and other variety of creeps looking to angle for contracts. For anybody else with an IQ above room temperature who might not know the score . . . THE NEW KANSAS CITY AIRPORT IS STALLED AND WON'T BE FIGURED OUT UNTIL AFTER THE 2019 ELECTIONS SO THAT COMPANIES WILL KNOW WHO TO BRIBE . . . But here's "news" for the plebs in between lawn care commercials.

Edgemoor taking community feedback, implementing changes for KCI terminal design
MERRIAM, Kan. -- A new ranking puts Kansas City International Airport second worst in North America. Edgemoor, the company tasked with building a new terminal at KCI, is in its second round of public feedback. This time, they're sharing the conceptual design. "We have the layout. We have the number of terminals.
“A new ranking puts Kansas City International Airport second worst in North America.”
ReplyDeleteSays who? That’s news to me and probably most of us too.
Edgemore took a street corner poll outside City Union Mission last week and came up with the rankings. Question #1: If we dropped you bums off at the airport at 2am and there was no place to get a drink, how would you rate our airport?
ReplyDeleteFrom the very beginning, this fiasco has been like a group of elementary school kids play "let's build an airport".
ReplyDeleteAll the endless hype about KCMO being a big time major league "smart" city with a vibrant urban downtown and cutting-edge toys like streetcars, but when you look at how things REALLY are done, it's an amateurish joke.
And the local media just keeps gobbling up all the Go4KC crap.
What are those 25 million tourists to do?
Hahahahaha!!
The Lego's store in Crown Center could do a better job building/designing an airport than Edgemoor.
ReplyDelete6:09 now that’s funny and probably true too!
ReplyDeletefake news reporters who write stuff that many people know firsthand to be false are why most people don't trust the media now.
ReplyDeletekci is not the worst airport in america for travelers nor anywhere close to the worst.
I hope it has a good liquor store
ReplyDeleteDraw a new Broadway Bridge, remodel the airport.
ReplyDeleteRemember all the people who have been pushing for this from the beginning literally were not smart enough to understand how much of a clusterfuck it would be. These are not serious minded p eople
ReplyDeleteDue to the geniuses of the cookingham era, the airport is in Iowa (they also gave us the downtown freeway noose). Expensive remodels won't change that fact that it was stupid to annex so much far-flung Platte county land just like it was stupid to rip the shit out of so many core neighborhoods (west side, Columbus park, south humboldt etc etc) for the downtown freeway noose. We are stuck with the reality and should just cope with it and not go broke. -radish
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of these meetings is to prepare the public for the sticker shock when the price is announced. It will easily be $3 Billion . Look at CFRG's Facebook page to see why the design as proposed will not be approved by the FAA. How many letters has the aviation department received from the FAA declining their proposals?
ReplyDeletewhy not do it right and spend whatever it takes to be rated number one in the usa?
ReplyDeletetravelers are paying, not taxpayers, and travelers will be happy to pay more for a superior experience.
MKCIGA!
Well I can't wait to ride the new roller coaster that is being installed at the airport. What? No roller coaster? No pony rides? No circus clowns? Hmmmmm.....what a crummy airport this will be.
