Today, City Council approved a plan to move forward with improvements to Bartle Hall, Municipal Auditorium, and the Music Hall, building on the $100 million bond Kansas City voters approved in August.
The first phase, targeted for 2028, includes $75 million in upgrades to seating, restrooms, concessions, and accessibility, with additional improvements to the Convention Center campus planned through 2036.
These investments will help preserve Kansas City's historic gathering spaces while making them more accessible and competitive for future events.
A new federal grant of up to $72 million will help build the Lydia Avenue flyover bridge, eliminating dangerous railroad crossings and better connecting our historic Northeast neighborhoods to the growing Berkley Riverfront.
Mayor Lucas had a great time at Gordon Parks Elementary School leading students through their own mock election and answering their questions about being mayor.
