“Right now, we are asking the community to look at some alternatives. A streetcar route on Burlington versus a streetcar route on Swift, and how does that connect on the Heart of America Bridge? And how does that connect south of the river?” said Donna Mandelbaum, the communications director for Kansas City Streetcar Authority.
