    Westport has changed so many times, in so many ways, that it's hard to believe that a 6 story building is going to be the death of it.

    A 5-story apt building at that location is completely appropriate for any mixed-use, denser city neighborhood. Putting the City back in KC.

    It's hard to believe Westport is destined to be mixed use when such a drastic measure is proposed to cater to a single component.

    Amazing how little change can happen in 15+ years. 2001 Westport vacation opposition letter rings just as true today.

    And we're going to stop needlessly tearing down reusable buildings, since the greenest building is the one that's already built, right?

    So, since the mayor adopted the Paris Climate dealy bopper, does that mean we're finally going to get bike lanes in KC?

    And a reminder it is not ok to put your hands in the air and close your eyes when driving downhill, no matter how amusing

    Only Westport street design question being asked by KCMO is "how much sales tax revenue does it bring in?"

    Fundamental street design question is not "how many cars can it handle" but "how does street enhance lives of people around it?"

    Wishing everyone a lovely commute tomorrow morning on their amusement freeways!

    Replying to @LynnHorsley @kcstreetcar

    Is "they pay their sales tax" really where we want to set the bar on this, ?

    Replying to @dueynetsell @UrbanAngleKC and 3 others
    Westport merchants pay over $600k/mo in sales tax & employ +3k in locally owned small businesses, this is an investment in that success

    Disappointed in KCMO's role in the Westport street giveaway: signed MOU without public input, now acting as representative for biz owners.
