City Manager Walks Back Country Club Plaza Tennis Court Destruction?!?

Here's the problem with any quote from our power-lifting City Manager . . . A far more trusted local dude called him out not-so-long-ago for suggesting that lying is a part of the KCMO media plan

Accordingly . . .

It's reasonable for locals to be skeptical about his statements . . . Like this one regarding the fate of The Plaza Tennis Courts . . . 

“This is the first step in us figuring out other ideas and other thoughts and visions for some of the area in the Plaza,” said city manager of Kansas City Brian Platt.

He said this request for proposals doesn’t mean the tennis courts just disappear.

“We don’t have any specific ideas or plans right now this is just the beginning of that process perhaps they can stay on that site and other things get added to the site, perhaps they move nearby or on top of a building that can go underneath of it, where we can get a lot more activity and excitement in the area, more than just tennis courts,” said Platt.

He added, “What is a higher and better use for that land, and can we add some of the community benefits that people have been asking us so much about, grocery stores, retail, additional apartments, affordable housing, there are so many things we can add to the Plaza on this site and also maintaining and keeping the tennis courts in some other location.”
