Kansas City,MO,USA -KCUR/89,3 FM, by Dan Verbeck -17 Feb 2010: ... The announcement came as part of the Obama Administration's national promotional blitz on the first anniversary of the economic recovery act... The millions will be managed by Mid America Regional Council and be spread both sides of state line... U.S. Transportation secretary, Ray La Hood, made much of transportation needs in poor parts of Kansas City where about half the money will be spent. The aim is to create jobs, soften urban blight and make mobility easier... MARC head, David Warm, says the urban "Green Zone" is the hub and most of the money will go there... Nearly half the money will expand bus mass transit... (Photo from lightrailnow.org: KC bus BRT cross)
