For the record, TKC is the only news outlet in Kansas City that REFUSES to forget Rock Island Trail was championed by a local politico who was forced to spend time in the federal can.
This project made quite a few promises that were mostly unfulfilled . . . Rock Island Trail was supposed to boost the entire Rock Island Corridor which would then become a Missouri transit BEHEMOTH and power the Missouri economy into the future!!!
However . . .
A few arrests amongst the courthouse ruling class inspired quite a few "leaders" to turn away from the project and pretend they never attended the grand opening.
Now, the hope to sell junk food and/or expensive drinks to cyclists is the only economic benefit on the horizon.
Good luck.
