The school bond issue passed so we'll be paying taxes whether it goes for schools, downtown parking or a black hole. Downtown has needed parking for as long as I can remember. Maybe we'll get it now so that people might start shopping downtown again. Too bad we can't get some busineses, such as Macy's and Henry's again. Just getting plenty of parking downtown should be the biggest help for real revitalization that we could ever do for Wichita. Getting the buses to run till midnight would help alleviate the need for more parking. Now if we can deal with security issues and homeless people downtown we'd have it made.
millions for arena parking but none for the wichita schools, shows you what wichita's governments priority's are. Those millions would have paid for all those wants by the wichita school districts and it wouldn't have come out of the taxpayers pocket--oops those millions for the arena parking are coming out of taxpayers pockets anyway, I'd sure like a bit of that money in my pocket maybe I could pay for my health issues, mortgage payment, utilities, groceries, shall I go on.
Will the city and county ever consider increasing the funding for the buses so they can run until midnight? More people would go to evening functions at the arena with lots of people going other places and they'd just have to walk across the street to the arena.
