the Kansas City
Downtown Streetcar
The KC Streetcar is scheduled
to become operational in the
summer of 2015 in downtown
Kansas City, Mo. It will operate a
two-mile north-south route — approximately a four-mile round
trip — on city streets that will connect the River Market area
to the
Crown Center/Union Station area.

65,000 employees), the Crossroads Arts District and the Power and Light District. The route will run primarily on Main Street.

What’s next for transit along the I-70, Rock Island and U.S. 71 corridors?
Around 100 people attended an interactive open house on Nov. 27, 2012, at River Market Event Place to learn about recommendations for enhancing transit service in the I-70 and Rock Island corridors in Jackson County. The study team also sought feedback on the most recent analysis on transit service options for the U.S. 71/Bruce R. Watkins corridor.
Plus, there were additional info stations about the downtown streetcar project and bicycle/pedestrian facility investments. Prizes and giveaways were provided by generous area River Market businesses.
