Kansas City's Green Impact Zone makes progress on basic infrastructure: Sidewalks, transit | Kaid Benfield's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
Viewed from the perspective of today, there is no doubt that the Green Zone has, in fact, had a beneficial impact on the five neighborhoods in the district. A “summary of key results in three priority focus areas over the past three years” attached to the Zone’s most recent progress report lists an impressive array of accomplishments, all of which begin to lay a foundation for the Zone’s revitalization.
In particular, many of the district’s curbs and sidewalks have been repaired or rebuilt, some with pervious pavement to absorb stormwater, thanks to a $26 million “TIGER” grant from the federal Department of Transportation. A significantly enhanced bus line (if not quite true BRT with a fully dedicated lane) was established.
