Now Mission's prospects in the age of quick delivery is even worse: there is massive reorganization of commerce away from physical storefronts and office buildings and office parks. This development is a ruination and has been since the late '70's.<br /><br />Put in a botanical gardens and aquatics center and draw people to what's left of retail elsewhere in Mission if the desire is to maintain sales and property tax bases. But this development pig is a failure that keeps failing before it even finally flops for good.Chester Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273196114183355669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-32461136913841628852020-06-03T12:04:17.240-05:002020-06-03T12:04:17.240-05:00Aren't we way past due to stick a fork in this...Aren't we way past due to stick a fork in this thing and call it dead? At this point, they need to just cut their losses and turn it into a park, or a park n ride or just parking lot. They probably just need to stop reporting on this and then report back when they actually have steel coming out of the ground for buildings. Otherwise this is the same song and dance bullshit that has been going on with that land for 15+ years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-51345925911919188082020-06-03T09:27:57.942-05:002020-06-03T09:27:57.942-05:00The Mission City Council has mishandled the develo...The Mission City Council has mishandled the development of this space from day one. In a time period when more commercial development in generations was completed in generations, the City allowed the developer to fail in all aspects. I believe this was over a 15 year period. Now, it's too late.

There used to be an on-ramp from Roe onto Shawnee Mission Parkway going West and the but of the building basically isolates traffic forcing cars down Johnson Drive.
