Independence, MO —
Officials busy at work on plans for the first two commuter transit lines through Eastern Jackson County also have been working on a third line, which would be to Grandview.
Plans for that line will be on display at two open houses. The first is from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today at The View (the Grandview community center), 13500 Byars Road. The second is from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. next Tuesday at the Southeast Community Center, 4201 E. 63rd St., Kansas City.
Residents also can make comments on Facebook at “U.S. 71 Transit Study Open House.”
Planning is further along for the first two lines seen as the beginning of a metro transit system, probably based on commuter rail service. One line is from Kansas City into Independence, Blue Springs, Grain Valley and Oak Grove, and one is from Kansas City into Raytown and Lee’s Summit. But local officials have won federal money to pursue study of the Grandview line as well. As initially proposed two and a half years ago, there would eventually be six lines, probably meeting at Union Station, serving much of metro, including the airport.
