The Mid-America Regional Council will host a series of public meetings before finalizing the updated Smart Moves Plan! This is your chance to learn more, ask questions, and shape a critical document to guide transit development in the region for years to come. kcrta.org/2026/10/23/h...

Kansas City people, heads up. Councilman Darrell Curls is introducing a new resolution to reopen Blue River Road & kill the current work being done to make this an official trail like Cliff Drive in the Historic North East. Please email today docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Really wish renderings had more realistic environment. You won't be able to see Union Station from right field, let alone probably anywhere in the whole stadium. Also Mcgee, Warwick, 26th seem to have been vacated so I don't know how the garage going to be accessed? www.kmbc.com/article/roya...

Annoying that Kansas City still doesn't have a presence here on a social network of tens of millions with many active KC residents. @olatheks.gov seems to be the only metro city with the technical prowess to...sign up for an account and set a DNS TXT record lmao

I'm excited for a @royals.com urban ballpark, but let's make it an urban ballpark. That means not retrofitting the city to speed cars in and out, but connecting it to the neighborhood with bike and pedestrian infrastructure and solid transit — making it easier to get there on foot and on a bike.

In a proposal that should surprise no one, the Royals want to rip out bike lanes and fuck up pedestrian crossings to make sure the fans in cars aren't inconvenienced compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod...

Heads up Kansas City Residents and bike riders. Kansas City has a new Bikeway and Trail Plan survey open in speakeasy.kcmo.gov. Take a few minutes to give your thoughts on the future of bikeways, lanes and trails.

Good news, it looks like the cycletrack was not interrupted by Extra Virgin valet! Still strange that of the entire new build, this is the one place with pavers instead of poured concrete but I'll take it.

Algeria parade going down Grand if you're interested in some KC World Cup eve action!

@bikewalkkc.bsky.social and @velogarage.bsky.social are fundraising for a new Bike lane sweeper. Sometimes you just get sick of waiting for the city or state to clean the lanes, so you do it yourself! Can you help? bikewalkkc.org/sweeper/

Very spoiled to get to attend 2 streetcar extension openings in the span of a year. Hopefully this becomes a regular occurrence!

In Europe, where they've slowed cars and invested in safe bike infrastructure, e-bike trips increased by 72 percent in 2025 and injuries per million trips fell by 18 percent. The safety problem is not e-bikes. The problem is US roads are unsafe for everyone, particularly people walking and biking.

New @kcstreetcar.org poster looks so good kcstreetcar.org/rfe-grand-op...

This lane isn't complete yet, but I really hope this isn't the intended use for this new lane. The sign in the right says Valet Only Fri/Sat 5-11pm, but it also says Paid Parking M-F so I think it's the old signage.

"Infrastructure redesign — including separated lanes and intersection protections — may offer the most immediate opportunity to reduce neurosurgical trauma burden," wrote the authors of a new study about e-mobility and ER visits. But that's not the takeaway that some anti-bike groups are spreading.

The Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee has voted to RESTORE $5M for state transit funding! This is good news, but it's not a done deal. Reach out to your state senator today to ask them to support this measure! #Missouri #Transit #Funding cmt-stl.org/mo-senate-ap...

Big news, Kansas City! The #kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension officially opens for passenger service on Monday, May 18 & you’re invited to celebrate with us at 11 a.m. on the riverfront! More details soon.

The Bus Bus Stop at 18th and Holmes

Hands down the best analysis of AI I have read so far. Gets slightly technical in some parts, but for the most part is understandable for non-technical readers.

New video up on YouTube! youtu.be/u1Xs5EA5_uU?...

New bike signals at 2nd and Grand

Yesterday, Kansas City eliminated outdated minimum parking requirements across much of the city. The old rules drove up construction costs, kept storefronts empty, and made it harder to build affordable housing. This is how we build a more walkable, more affordable Kansas City.

Ridership on the Kansas City streetcar is also up 290% compared to this time last year after the opening of the main street extension to UMKC! The system now has more ridership than the New Orleans streetcars, and is set to be extended to the riverfront this year.

Looks about the width of a cycletrack, hopefully this is phase 2 of the 19th/SW Blvd road diet! This will connect Gillham to SW Blvd.

MoDOT is planning to rebuild a couple of the bridges in the I-29/I-35 interchange between Gladstone and NKC. I went to the public engagement meeting about it 3/18. You can submit comments until 4/1: www.modot.org/projects/int... 1/5

Starting at 8PM on Sun, 3/22, the North Loop Northbound streetcar stop will be temporarily closed for maintenance. During this time, northbound riders can board & exit at either the Library Northbound stop or the City Market stop. This work is expected to last approx 4–5 days.

Brookside. 39th Street. River Market. 18th and Vine. Westport. All of these neighborhoods — largely built before 1950 — would be illegal to build under today’s zoning laws. Soon, the Kansas City Council may consider legislation that aims to change those regulations. thebeaconnews.org/stories/2026...

New concrete protection upgrades at 31st and Gillham! South side has a median (pictured), north side has a chicane.

Due to adverse weather conditions and for the safety of our riders and staff, KC Streetcar service will conclude at 10pm tonight. Text “streetcar’ to 816-685-8541 to stay updated on service alerts. Stay warm & safe out there, KC.

For the last five years, Kansas City has been transforming street infrastructure and redesigning roads through the Vision Zero program. Advocates applaud the progress, but want to see even more money dedicated to underserved neighborhoods.
