Kansas City Walkability Plan--Important Meeting Tues., Feb 18th

Walkability Friends:

Remember that a public hearing before the City Plan Commission on the adoption of the Kansas City Walkability Plan will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 9:30 a..m. on the 26th Floor of City Hall, 414 E. 12th Street (southeast corner of 11th and Oak). The hearing will start promptly at 9:30 a.m.

You all have expressed interest and support for Walkability in Kansas City. Now is the time to express your opinions formally as the adoption process begins. I know that the time and place may be very inconvenient for those of you who live and work far from downtown, but public input at the two public hearings in the adoption process is crucial if the plan is to be adopted. If the City Plan Commission recommends approval of the Walkability Plan, the second public hearing will be held some time in March before the Planning Zoning and Economic Development Committee of City Council. That will be an afternoon hearing.

I would most appreciate an e-mail from you letting me know whether to expect you at the City Plan Commission hearing. Let me know also whether you have further questions or concerns.

Lynnis Jameson, Senior Planner
City Planning and Development Dept.
