We are neighbors advocating to eliminate the North Loop highway from Downtown Kansas City, and replace it with all of the things that make downtown so great.

As cities like #Durham consider removing their urban freeways, let us: 1) never forget what we lost to "urban renewal", and 2) develop a better future for all The photo here shows #Kansas City's North Loop freeway (right), and the neighborhoods that it displaced (left). Our friends at @kcnorthloop North Loop Neighbors have a vision of what this amazing space could become 🏙️ Should Durham, NC get rid of the Durham Freeway? #freewayremoval #urbanrenewal #transit

Removing a highway is about more than eliminating a costly and decaying road. It’s about creating opportunity for community to thrive. Rochester did it with the inner loop, and already the city is seeing the fruit of that labor.

@BarsottiKlb The highway viaduct is getting old (it’s the oldest expressway in the City) and will need some major reinvestment eventually.

I stopped by to listen to the reconnecting the Westside conversation today. Great stories, beautiful history, and proud people are exactly the right combination to envision and build a beautiful future for our Westside. Excited for what’s to come.

Proud to see outstanding community engagement this morning on Kansas City’s Westside for our reconnecting communities event. We can build a great future for our impacted neighborhoods by first listening. Glad to do it today.

The Rochester highway removal was able to reclaim 6.5 acres of land, leading to $229 million in development and millions in new tax revenue for the city. We need more urban highway removals.

Say, what if we rerouted all of these highways to go around the city instead of through it? I'd bet that'd open a lot of land for development! Since we're now all-in on developing government-held lands!

Selling federal land out west is so dumb when our cities look like this. How about we develop this land first, and then we start moving outwards from there? We could easily fit tens of millions more in each urban center within the US.

@John5tork No grass fields, but there are vacant parking lots. They are held by a small group of speculating landowners.

@KCNorthLoop Aren't there actual grass fields currently directly south? How is this land more valuable that those + the sea of parking lots also there?

@NoMoreBikeLanes Lewis and Clark could remain open under our framework, if needed. It could also be converted to a local road and transit way paired with the riverfront heritage trail below. We also need a solution to open the Kansas Avenue and Central Avenue bridges.

Really proud of this one! For A People’s History of Kansas City, I explored the construction of Highway 71 — Bruce R. Watkins Drive. 2,000 homes were destroyed and thousands more Black residents were displaced because of it. kcur.org/history/2025-0…
