Hundreds of citizens participated in the first two public hearings as part of the Alternatives Analysis process underway to consider the best way to create a viable light rail plan for Kansas City. The meetings were held August 20 in midtown Kansas City, and August 21 in North Kansas City.
At both meetings, the attendees were very engaged in both a question and answer session that followed the presentation, and the breakout sessions that allowed them to directly offer their thoughts and opinions on the proposed route, economic development and several other issues. The input that was given at these meetings will allow the project team to incorporate this information in the next steps of the development of Kansas City’s light rail plan.
