I like how Our Lady of Sorrows is squished in on the corner. Really feels like the stadium is built into the city instead of on top of it.

Stadium NE corner looks like potential entertainment/entrance. The current 25th/Pershing/Gillham intersection is not very walkable (especially the west side), hopefully we see a complete rework of the roads here.

The traffic on Gillham here will get worse, so I hope we can utilize a CBA to harden the Gillham cycletrack (and probably 27th lanes).

The 22nd & Oak and 22nd & McGee intersections are going to be more heavily used due to 71 access. @urbanlabkc.bsky.social put out a design for roundabouts here a while ago. It would be nice to see something like this implemented.

Note that the rendering is actually missing a new 5 story University Health building at 25th & Charlotte! Hopefully we'll see more infill on surface lots. I assume since Hallmark owns the lots north of 27th they'll play into new Royals private development (can you say hotel at 27th and Grand?)

The rendering faintly features the proposed Greenline Trail, which makes me wonder if 3D Dev is involved in some way.

The routes crossing the Crossroads/Crown Center divide over the tracks are not great. Mainly narrow concrete barrier gutters on bridges, with Grand being the nicest one - but even there we have some pretty bad neglected buildings. Should probably put thought into walkability here.

Left field at the K is where the kids' field is. Left field at new stadium is where Sealife/Legoland are. Coincidence?
