Seems to me if you're going to make the STAR Bond district include all these other JOCO municipalities, you might as well include Lawrence and Topeka.

I’m just going to keep sayin it: The economic border war is super detrimental to our region and ultimately hurts our states and this is an extreme example. It’s a race to the bottom that caters to the rich and hurts our social fabric. Not our fandom but our tax base that pays for basic services

The "illustrative" map of the STAR Bond district for the Chiefs includes all of Wyandotte County, Bonner, Edwardsville, Shawnee, Lenexa and Olathe! Wow. 😂

If the Chiefs think that Jackson County leadership was hard to deal with, wait till they meet Unified Government Leadership.

I wonder when the yelling started at Gates? Was it like that from the beginning or was it just one lady and then everyone started doing it?

In addition to this, if you are pissed off about the Chiefs and Royals getting incentives to jump the state line, you better keep that same energy for Lockton or the many other companies taking millions in decades long tax brakes to move a few short miles away.
The economic development border war may be the biggest challenge facing the Kansas City region today. It only benefits corporations and the rich while being destructive to tax revenues and providing no positive benefits to residents of either side of the state line.

Is BRT on the Bi-State Corridor something that this region needs? Seems like we have way more pressing needs.

Mobility options! Every city administrator should consider how to make year-round car-free travel better & safer. Put the welfare of people above the convenience of vehicles.
Two minutes of footage of wheelchair users on bike lanes in Paris. A classic video I posted on Twitter a few years ago I had not posted here yet.

Kansas City / Jackson County people: Very unsexy election happening tomorrow for Jackson County Residents: Yes or No on whether the County Assessor should be elected.
Most normal states require that the County Assessor is elected. Easy yes.

Great article from the Minnesota Post. The argument is that bike lanes take arrows for necessary traffic calming projects because it's cheaper and faster to reduce lanes and lane width by striping a bike lane than moving a curb. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...
Bike lane rants just obscure serious traffic safety concerns - MinnPost
It’s easier to joke about spandex-wearing bike lane users than to have needed conversations about speeding, safety or infrastructure costs.
