The Kansas City Parks and Recreation Board of Directors hopes to vote this spring on a route to rename after Martin Luther King Jr., a street that might be shorter than previously planned.
On Monday, after the second of two public meetings this year, Roosevelt Lyons, Parks and Recreation deputy director of operations, said he expected to be moving forward this year.
Monday s virtual meeting was attended by less than 40 people. Public engagement sessions held in 2020 were also sparsely attended.
But comments reflected what has often been said during the debate on the King route. I travel a lot before the pandemic, Kansas City resident Jerome Walker told attendees. Every city I go to I get tired of people saying, You live in that big city and they don t have a Martin Luther King Boulevard, and he s been dead for over 50 years?
A Solution To Kansas City s Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard Saga Could Be Near
