Overview
- The KC Streetcar, which opened its Berkley Riverfront stop Monday, extended the line 0.7 miles and put a stop within a five‑minute walk of CPKC Stadium.
- The system now spans 6.5 miles, linking UMKC, the Plaza, and downtown directly to Berkley Riverfront Park with free rides.
- The Kansas City Current ended its matchday shuttle after the opening and urged fans to ride the streetcar to games.
- River Market businesses expect more visitors; one storefront reported about a 25% sales boost after the last extension and plans longer hours if foot traffic grows.
- The Streetcar Authority is studying more routes, including 18th & Vine, an east‑west link along 31st/Linwood/39th, and a possible line to North Kansas City.
