And here's where the "institutional" knowledge of this blog comes into play . . . Westport wants to be at the center of party people transit very much like the old "Kansas City Strip" trolley route that FAILED back in 2013.
However, organizers have learned their lesson and now want taxpayers to pick up the tab.
Check the latest plan from:
Westport business owner Bill Nigro to propose entertainment tour, ‘KC to the Maxx’
Deets:
On Wednesday, Nigro plans to make a presentation to the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority Board about an idea he’s calling “KC to the Maxx.” The idea is for a 10-stop entertainment route that would run on Friday and Saturday nights using RideKC buses. The service would cost $5 to ride all night or $3 to ride one-way. Stops would include Zona Rosa, City Market, Power and Light, Martini Corner, Westport, the Plaza, Brookside, Waldo, Marco Polo Center and the Rosanna Square Shopping Center. The service would include an app offering additional information about bus schedules and neighborhood amenities."
The question that nobody has bothered to ask Mr. Nigro . . .
IF THIS PARTY PLAN DIDN'T WORK AS THE KANSAS CITY STRIP THAN WHY SHOULD TAXPAYERS FUND A BIGGER VERSION OF THE SAME SCHEME?!?!
You decide . . .
streetcar extension already taking care of it. No reason for it now.
ReplyDeleteThis idea makes even less sense now that there's uber and lyft where people don't have to get on a bus to go from place to place. Hope the council sees through this. It's more important for local transit to get people to WORK.
DeleteYou'll find the crook Bill George embedded in this somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSorry Bill,
ReplyDeleteSmart kids are not clamoring to move or locate to KCMO for it's wonderful weather, overpriced crap housing, shit streets, shit water, high crime and Wastedport.
The Marco Polo Center? Nice marketing Ha Ha. You mean a run down strip mall with an Italian restaurant... Liquor store... a bar with "ugly" in its name... all nestled against a flood prone creek and car dealerships.
ReplyDeleteHope he chokes on a glass of whiskey.
ReplyDeleteHe's done enough damage.
I hope you choke on a dick, faggot.
DeleteThis will only work if the Westport sluts are putting out of the trips otherwise no riders.
ReplyDeleteSeriously he should retire, with all his old outdated and obsolete ideas and enjoy whatever remaining time on earth he has left.
ReplyDelete@9:21 Ah well who in the hell do you think you are fagot?
ReplyDeleteWho's your family? Why don't you do us all a favor and step in front of a bus asshole.
Make sure hot chicks ride for free.
ReplyDelete9:26, better yet who is your family? Come on tough guy admit who you are so we can all take a look at you.
ReplyDeleteJust what I thought you pussy!
Great idea! Bill should run for mayor..
ReplyDeleteKansas City North is a great place great intertainment great reasturants. I I Live in KCMO but spend four days a week in West Central Missouri on Business. Fridays I Do the Kansas City Experience. And Saturday and Sunday Sunrise Beach. And Once a year WESTPORT .THERE ARE TO MANY BETTER ESTABLISHMENTS,AND PROBABLY A TAD BIT SAFER.
ReplyDeleteThe Crossroads and River Market Waldo Brookside EASTERN Jackson County Lee's Summit great Dining and Entertainment .
ReplyDelete^^shut up retard. You make zero sense.
ReplyDeleteNigro has to be stopped. He got Westport privatized by his racist scheme. The dude is a human paraquat!
ReplyDeleteIs he a racist? I knew there was a reason I liked him
DeleteWTF is the marco polo center? I googled it and nada
ReplyDeleteOMG Party Bus!
ReplyDeleteThe $3 and $5 fares will keep the negroes off the bus. They should have at least 5 hot young sluts on each bus.
ReplyDeleteWestport is slowly dying. There are too many vacant restaurant and retail spaces. Chili's, McCoy's, Sailor Jack, 5 Minute Pizza, the Chinese buffet - all gone. A sign in the window of the pet shop says it's going out of business too. Manor Square is nearly empty. And the vacant spaces have been that way for a long time. The city's subsidy of and preference for P&L is the main cause. The reputation for violence in the wee hours certainly did not help.
ReplyDeleteWeez be openin' a new gym in Westport. Build it and they will come.

ReplyDeletethe hot blonde pic makes up for the ugly Nigro photo --
TKC - truly a "fair and balanced" blog!
Those buses better have free wifi
ReplyDeleteThe 51 goes all the way out to Rosanna square, believe it or not, and to 9th & grand and even downtown airport. No wknd service though.
ReplyDeleteBut a route extending from 119th and Metcalf all the way North to zona rose would take forever an have huge variations in the timing of hitting the spots...
Thanks,
