More bus routes. More bike lanes. More sidewalks and more direct flights out of Kansas City International Airport.
Those were some of the recurring requests we received from Kansas Citians this week, in addition to a widespread call for commuter rail in the metropolitan area.
When we took to social media and asked, “What’s something that Kansas City needs?” transportation dominated the feedback that came in, followed closely by desired improvements to public schools in Kansas City, Mo.
Our question stemmed from a similar inquiry that appeared last month on social networking site Reddit, generating nearly 300 responses.
On Facebook, KCUR listeners also listed off some of these needs for the Kansas City area:
• A St. Louis-style city museum
• Better regional cooperation across the state line
• Improved sewer infrastructure
• Better bagels
