Port KC boss promises streetcar expansion will move forward one way or another

 

The proposal to extend the Kansas City streetcar line to Berkley Riverfront Park is still in the study phases. But Port KC has made it clear that it will work to fund the expansion, regardless of whether the project secures federal funding, KCUR reports.

Kansas City Streetcar looking to expand service — this time rolling to the north

As the Kansas City Streetcar reached another milestone of more than 3.1 million riders since its inception, efforts are underway to expand service — this time north to the Berkley Riverfront.

If everything goes as planned, including securing $15 million in federal funding, the streetcar could be rolling to the Missouri River in just a few years.

Kansas City Streetcar moves closer to expansion

 

The Federal Tranportation Administration is giving the green light for Kansas City to move ahead with the next stage of development for the streetcar extension.

Correct name is Federal Transit Administration.   ;)   Sloan

Metro Magazine, 1/8/18:
 

KC Streetcar extension gets Fed green light to enter project development phase

 

 

The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA), in partnership with the Kansas City Streetcar Authority (KCSA) and the City of Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO), received official authorization from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to move the KC Streetcar Main Street Extension project into the “Project Development” phase.

 

“Project Development” is the phase where project details will be developed, including refined capital and operating costs, estimating ridership and other benefits, assessing environmental impacts, and developing a detailed funding plan for the streetcar extension. It includes work currently being done by a team of consultants led by HDR Inc., which is being jointly funded by the KCSA and KCATA.
