Kansas City just accomplished something I didn't think was possible...they built a truly excellent modern streetcar line. And it's just the beginning for them! youtu.be/LDqsQBglwF8
Kansas City Just Achieved the Impossible...
A useful modern streetcar in the USA is genuinely so exciting...and this is just the beginning for KC! Check out Urban Lab KC: https://urbanlabkc.org/ Patreon:…

Happy @kcstreetcar.org Expansion Friday to all who celebrate! Stretching nearly 6 miles from the Riverfront to UMKC, the service has outperformed nearly every other modern streetcar operation in the U.S. on its initial route.🎉🚊
The KC Streetcar expansion opens Friday. Here’s how the city is celebrating
A two-day celebration happens along the streetcar route to mark the opening of the 3.5-mile expansion toward UMKC and the Country Club Plaza.

Objectively, what you can do with the space taken up by freeways, like in Kansas City, is really wild.

A lot of work has occurred in a week & a half at the 3rd & Grand area. Now that the equilateral track has been installed, & concrete poured, streetcar testing in that area can begin. We are 1 step closer to resuming downtown KC Streetcar service...just in time for #Superbowl Sunday. Go Chiefs!
