Berkley Riverfront

With the new Rock Island Bridge over the Kansas River, and the soon-to-be expanding Current stadium on the Missouri River, Kansas City is transforming its waterfronts from industrial wasteland into entertainment districts.

The city will negotiate a deal with the team, which will give hundreds of millions in incentives so the Current can further develop the riverfront.

Projects like the Royals’ proposed ballpark at Crown Center and the Current’s riverfront stadium expansion could receive additional city and state funding through the MODESA program.

The Current are planning to expand the club’s stadium and entertainment district. The city could pitch in with a $235 million bond and a tax break for the area.

A trio of Argentinian cyclists biked more than 10,000 miles to Kansas City to cheer on their national team. Hopefully that warm welcome made up for the early-morning thunder and tornado sirens that likely woke up Lionel Messi's squad soon after they arrived in town.

After years of construction, the Kansas City Streetcar Authority’s Riverfront extension is now open. The 0.7-mile extension takes the streetcar from its previous northern terminus of the River Market to the Berkley Riverfront.

The Grand Boulevard Bike and Pedestrian Bridge opened to the public on May 8, offering a safer option to walk to sites like CPKC Stadium. This comes shortly before the Kansas City Streetcar Riverfront Extension opens on May 18.

Connecting River Market with the Berkley Riverfront, the 0.7-mile extension will start service on May 18 after two years of construction.

The new extension is less than a mile long, and will connect CPKC Stadium with the rest of the downtown streetcar line, near River Market. Several other Riverfront projects are expected to be completed at the same time.

Testing is officially underway on the 0.7-mile extension, which will connect the streetcar to Berkley Riverfront and CPKC Stadium, home of the KC Current.

The Current and developers of a $1 billion entertainment and residential district near CPKC Stadium said Friday they'll have "core elements" open before the 2026 World Cup soccer tournament comes to Kansas City.

Bar K on the Berkley Riverfront was a popular destination for dog owners, and had expanded to St. Louis and Oklahoma City. On Tuesday, the company announced all its locations were shuttered, effective immediately.
