The City of Kansas City (“KCMO”) leadership, in support of continuous community improvement, wants to ensure public access to local destinations through strategic improvements and overall enhancements to the delivery of public parking services. KCMO engaged Walker to study site and area parking needs under current and future conditions and evaluate a few of the best ways to meet those needs. The following report provides an understanding the current parking needs in the immediate area, potential impacts of pending development, and how best to meet needs (as defined by KCMO priority). Groundwork from the proposed CBD Parking Study was used to provide insight into current and future supply and demand. This analysis was performed to speak specifically to the best way to balance parking needs once the Auditorium Plaza Garage is removed from service – replacing in-kind, partial replacement (balance of parking need accommodated nearby), or no replacement (entire parking need accommodated nearby). The alternatives analysis would consider quantitative and qualitative factors weighted by stakeholder input to inform recommendations. We look forward to engaging further with KCMO to provide excellent service and value-added insight from Walker’s years of experience in the parking industry.

    Chapter 3: AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This chapter of the Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study provides an overview and description of the existing environmental conditions known to exist within the proposed Study Area, including the social, natural, and cultural environment. The environmental conditions identifi ed in this chapter will be part of the screening criteria established to review the relative merits of the proposed improvement strategies. The environmental conditions will also be carried forward in subsequent National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) studies to serve as the Aff ected Environment chapter. Updates to the information provided in this chapter may need to be made if environmental conditions change. ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW The proposed improvement strategies identifi ed during the PEL Study will be evaluated relative to their impacts on the existing environment. The existing environment is traditionally discussed in three distinct categories: the social environment, the natural or man-made environment, and the cultural environment. Within each of these three categories, there are specifi c resources that have been identifi ed.

No city in America has accomplished as much in such a short time. While the accomplishments are great, the imperative at this point is to sustain the momentum. Ongoing investment and a focus on the downtown Loop as a priority will develop the solid base that stakeholders are looking for – an authentic, sustainable, viable place where people want to be most of all, whether it is for jobs, liv- ing, or entertainment and culture.

  • — 1 — ARCHIVES INTRODUCTION for Many Years We Have Had an Annual Luncheon of NSDKC Past Presidents at the River Club to Welcome the New President
    — 1 — ARCHIVES INTRODUCTION For many years we have had an annual luncheon of NSDKC Past Presidents at the River Club to welcome the new President. This allows the past presidents to offer guidance and pass on advice regarding our vision for the future of The Native Sons and Daughters of Greater Kansas City. For several years it was hosted by Art Bowen (1982 Native Sons President) and known as the Art Bowen Past Presidents Club. For the last several years NSDKC member Whitney Kerr has hosted the luncheon, also at the River Club. We appreciate the dedication of our presidents and other members for all these years as we have pursued fulfillment of our mission. It would not have been accomplished without the efforts of all that have served our organization. Since we are celebrating our 85th year as an organization, it was suggested that we publish a booklet that would reflect some of our history and achievements. We hope this booklet meets that expectation and that you will enjoy reading it. 85th Anniversary Booklet Committee Diane Boos Pepper: Chair J. Daniel Creasy Gary L.
