A new extension to the Kansas City Streetcar will open up the free transit line to Rockhurst University students.
The Kansas City Streetcar will gain another extension by 2025, reports Derrick Evers for The Rockhurst University Sentinel. The free service will give Rockhurst students access to free transit to more destinations in the city.
This new expansion project will take the streetcar from the 51st St. stop through proposed stations at the Country Club Plaza, Nelson Atkins Museum, Southmoreland, Westport, Armour, Union Hill and the World War I Memorial, before connecting with the current track at Union Station.
According to Evers, “The roughly $350 million project will also come complete with improvements to the intersections and sidewalks of the area, as well as parking spots along the streetcar route, giving pedestrians easier access to the streetcar line.”
