A KC Christmas Special: Baseball, Parking & Infill Development

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! For this final episode of 2023, we convene some of my KC brain trust to discuss a few perennial hot topics. We have a lengthy discussion on district parking and parking management in a car-dominated metro region, we discuss the possible future location of the Kansas City Royals, and talk some about current projects and lessons learned in small-scale infill development.When it comes to baseball, there’s tons of great websites out there on stadiums, but I think this one on historic stadiums that are now gone is a good one. Here’s a page on KC’s old Municipal Stadium, which we discuss. And I can’t help but push people toward my interview with Philip Bess on this topic as well, including our work on saving Fenway Park.Projects we discuss:Columbus Park Townhomes2000 VineWheatley-Provident HospitalBoone TheaterFind more content on The Messy City on Kevin’s Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.
