We’re making history today. Not since 1957 has a streetcar crossed south of Pershing Rd. This week, the
#kcstreetcar
team is testing part of the new tracks & crossover for the Main St Extension. It’s a small segment of movement, but a large step to get us to
#Ridein2025
.
The
#kcstreetcar
Main St Extension gets the green light🚦 from the
@FTA_DOT
to enter into engineering. This positions the project to receive a future award of federal grant money.
Wrapped With Heart: A celebration fit for a legend. Thank you
#KC
for honoring Buck O’Neil & the Negro Leagues w/ us yesterday.
We ❤️ our partnership w/
@NLBMuseumKC
&
@nlbmprez
in making this KC Monarchs
#kcstreetcar
a reality.
May we all be a little bit more like Buck ❤️
