The KC Star finally did an article on the Barry Road Bridge, aka, Rush Creek Bridge, in today's edition of the Platte County Neighborhood News (page 1). If you don't subscribe to the Star I wouldn't run out and buy one to read the article. Just a rehash of what has been on the TV news and in print (Luminary) elsewhere. Reporter Mike Rice cites the "dangerous and dilapidated Rush Creek Bridge". The only elected official he quotes is KCMO 2nd district Councilman Russ Johnson who says "he too was frustrated that the project is taking so long". (What is he going to say 2 and a half years from now when the project is still looking for the finish line?) Speaking of a slow crawl, I am sure you notice the mess (read Barry Road) in front of the High School. The current completion date is set for April, 2009.
Johnson's solution is to "urge the city manager and his staff...to move construction along as quickly as possible". Now that is a man of action! To borrow an O'Reilly phrase..who is looking out for you? So far neither elected officials (KCMO/Weatherby Lake) nor bureaucrats are stepping up to the plate. They are willing to share your "frustration" and "inconvenience". Is that good enough for you?
