Pro-automobile lobby apoplectic about proposal to encourage a bit of transit in Kansas City - Kansas City Business Journal

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:

Coffey emphasized that this "law" would affect the auto industry "by limiting the use of automobiles on our streets, particularly downtown." That's because the resolution suggests locating "a mix of transit-serving uses, services, activities and destinations conveniently near transit and limiting uses that only serve automobiles," which is stated in the City Planning and Development presentation.

MoBikeFed comment: It's hard to even talk about this sensibly . . . but perhaps Coffey would like to take a quick one-way trip back the 1960s, when automobile-only planning was all the rage.

It's 2016 now, and we're far beyond that. Welcome to the 21st Century, where a bit of planning for transit, biking, and walking does not bring about the end of the world--not even in Kansas City.
