Kansas City Council Committee To Take Public Testimony on Light Rail Initiative

Thank you so much for participating in the public process for light rail and transit options.

Last week the Kansas City City Council introduced an ordinance (Ordinance No. 080693) to place on the ballot on November 4, 2008, a light rail proposal which would enact a 3/8-cent sales tax devoted to a light rail system. A companion resolution (Resolution No. 080694) outlining the proposed 12-mile light rail route was also introduced. These documents can be found using the following link: http://cityclerk.kcmo.org/live. Use the ordinance and resolution numbers to search for more information.

The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will be taking public testimony on the Ordinance and Resolution that will put the light rail initiative on the November 4, 2008, ballot this coming Thursday, July 24 and Thursday, July 31 – 10:00 a.m., 10th Floor Committee Room – City Hall – 414 E. 12th Street.
