KC voters could weigh in on streetcar project in August

A second Transportation Development District could be established in Kansas City’s urban core if voters approve a financing plan that would extend a proposed streetcar line, according to the Kansas City Business Journal.

The special taxing district, which would enact a 1-cent sales tax and new property assessments in the area, could go up for a vote in August if local officials sign off on the plan.

The proposal would extend a current TDD put in place to fund the $102 million first phase of the streetcar project, which will run from the City Market to Union Station, roughly along Main Street.

The new district, if established by voters, would span from the Missouri River to 85th Street and east from State Line Road to Interstate 435.
