Development

A New Bicycle & Pedestrian is Coming to the Riverfront

Kansas City Streetcar Authority

The Kansas City Council approved $10.9 million for a new bicycle & pedestrian bridge connecting the River Market and Berkley Riverfront.

  • Make the Connection: The $12.2 million bridge would run from Second Street & Grand Boulevard to the riverfront, running alongside the Grand Viaduct. This idea was raised in the past, but was dropped in 2018 due to cost.

  • Riverfront Renaissance: The new bridge will increase accessibility to the rapidly-growing Berkley Riverfront, especially for the KC Current fans that make the 1.6-mile walk from the River Market on game days.

In addition to the pedestrian bridge, the KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension is expected to be completed by late 2025/early 2026.

Opening

Parkville’s Acre to Open an Event Space

Acre

Chef Andrew Longres’ Acre Restaurant in Parkville is opening an event space attached to the current location.

  • Acres of Space: Since opening in 2022, acre has been an extremely popular addition to the Northland’s fine-dining scene. The space is small, but the 1,316-square-foot addition will open the possibility of hosting more private events.

  • Midwestern Roots: Acre’s menu pays homage to Longres’ Missouri family farm roots. The menu features a variety of modern American dishes: freshly-made salads and soups, house-made pasta, and a dry-aged program.

Acre can be found at 6325 Lewis Street in Parkville, and the menu can be found HERE.
