KC Sharrows
Sharrows (share-arrows) are a good thing for KC! We need more. I wonder why we don't see more bright colors in regards to street marking? See article here:http://kcbike.info/2010/11/02/north-kansas-city-installing-metros-first-sharrows-today/
UPDATE
Austin, Texas creative food vending
Austin Street Food Culture
While in Austin over the holidays I saw many unique street trailers. Most were small mobile trailers parked in groups in lots with street access and high visibility. I’m impressed by the variety of creative food ideas, colorful design, and overall abundance of good, fast food options creative Austinites provide. What kind of creative entrepreneur is interested in a low-overhead business like these? What makes a community support a street food environment that is local, diverse and eclectic? How do we describe the quality of a feeling of originality in regards to local businesses? Are unique and local food vendors valuable to a community?
How would food vendors like these contribute to Kansas City?
