I've traveled by AmTrak from Kansas City to MA via Chicago, and there are definitely a lot of challenges to fix how it runs already before adding new service. For one thing, I believe a lot of the...

Ahh Gotcha

For some reason I was thinking First National was the building with a "slide" for a fire escape.

Came here to catch up on this. I used to walk through Devon at lunch from North to South and then go to the sidewalk. Crazy that over six months later, they still have their South entrance and the...

I've heard multiple times (not sure the source) that Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country. It's extremely popular with the retirement crowd, but catching on quickly with younger...

I understood it right after construction finished because that really was the merge area we had, but its been weeks. Surely everyone's had a chance to drive on this and realize your lane isn't...

Sorry...but I have a bit of a rant / public service announcement here:

<rant>
People entering 235 north at 36th street - you now have a FULL MILE to merge - quit getting up to the top of the ramp...

They just moved the bottleneck from 36th up north to 50th. I'm not sure that's going to be good as it's right at the curve. Already no one gets over when the lane ends and it causes issues. I wish...

I want to say that that stuff was gone going southbound this morning. I have been wondering the same thing since they opened up the southbound stuff - its been tough to go thru there and not get run...

I love the fact that they got the lighting up. Seems like on the further north section of broadway extension, they did the road surface first and lights much later. It's great that the lights are...

temporary stripes were shaved off northbound, so I'm expecting we will be on some more permanent lanes, maybe as early as tomorrow.

The new configuration Southbound was MUCH better this morning, especially in the dark. Glad to see that happen.

Yea I already feel that the East side of downtown access to the highway isn't all that great if you are coming from the West side. Everyone gets funneled into two points, then once you get on, you...

At some point I'd love to see more of exit area north of 50th since that is the active area at this point!

I've long had interest in assisting where possible in collaborative efforts such as Wikipedia (I've done a fair amount of editing in the past to http://wikimapia.org/ ). I'm interested in doing...

Yep, I could have sworn that the original plans were to put a bridge across santa fe first before this other stuff, but definitely seems to have disappeared.

Yeah that seemed to be what I remember seeing. For the most part, I think it's a good idea. In fact, most of the time it won't be a big deal to me (except on Marathon days, I go watch my favorite...

Is there no longer going to be an exit to 50th from Sbound 235? Seems like I remember hearing that originally but had forgotten. That's going to be a pain.

Thanks for the pictures, Pete! Always nice to get a view from above to make more sense of things.

I keep finding myself wondering what the work is that is just south of the old RR bridge. Is it just future retaining wall?

Yup - had to do that twice this week. Or on Kell(e)y for that matter. Missed opportunity when they redid the interchange there and didn't put in an underpass.

<rant>Which by the way, this is...

Is there any chance they will try to coordinate the next closure so they can do 50th street bridge work at the same time they tear down the old railroad bridge?

Nevermind, looks like I answered my own question - "The meters are in effect and enforced from 8 am until 6 pm, Monday through Friday."

Does anyone know if parking meters are checked after say 5 or 6? Used to be they were not then or on the weekends, but not so sure now?

Getting back to the parking garage, I think we are spoiled by the main street garage, which compared to other's in town, is pretty gorgeous. I think if nothing else, they could have done something...
