Sorry for the late notice, but whoever planned this first light rail workshop did an awful job communicating it. The details are below, confirmed by a call to the Downtown Council. The meeting announcement did not appear in The Star, or on websites for the Downtown Council, KCATA, or KCDC.

Wednesday, March 5

Can’t see how many people want Light rail down Grand Blvd. Don’t they know that the Parks Board won’t go for it. Cordish Co. won’t go for it. More time wasted.
Main St should be the street for Light Rail. It goes pass Union Station{one block for the new IRS] and sits right in the middle so you can walk three blocks to Bartle Hall or the Sprint Center.H&R Block employees can hop right on with three 5 steps out the door. This would serve the Muehlebach Hotel,Hotel Phillips,and others. By begin on Main St it serves three blocks from east to west which is what most people will walk. So why is there any talk of Main St? This will only slow down the process for Light Rail.People who run the workshop should come to the table with plans that will work.
