The voters of Kansas City chose a new direction a week ago last Tuesday. That new direction is not compatible with passing this controversial ordinance at the last minute against the wishes of so many south Kansas City residents and their newly-elected representatives.
Incoming 6th district councilman John Sharp has made numerous public statements in support of our position. Additionally, incoming 6th district at-large council member Cathy Jolly does not support the City's plan and has asked for a different solution that does not hurt the community.
I respectfully ask that you grant them and the other new council members the courtesy of allowing them to work with us to devise an alternate plan.
Mayor-elect Funkhouser recently blogged about the situation here in south town and it will be easier for him to build a consensus if this project is put on hold.
As a part of the community, I do not believe that building a bridge of this magnitude is good for either our neighborhoods or the city as a whole.
Please just say "NO" to condemning private land to build the "Chuck Eddy Memorial Bridge"!

For everyone who can spare the time, show up at the Council meeting today. You can't testify and they don't have a history of listening anyway. But if you show up, you will demonstrate to the city that care about this issue. Maybe seeing numbers will influence their voting.
