Mayor James applauds Supreme Court decision to end streetcar litigation

December 24, 2013 - KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
STATEMENT FROM MAYOR SLY JAMES ON SUPREME COURT’S REFUSAL TO HEAR STREETCAR LEGAL CHALLENGE:

“The work to move this City’s economy forward doesn’t stop during the holidays and today’s ruling by the Supreme Court reaffirms that the downtown streetcar is moving full steam ahead. This is now the fourth court that has ruled in favor of the streetcar project, in addition to the Kansas City voters who endorsed the project.  The time for arguments over the streetcar, legal or otherwise, has passed.  I’m excited to see the future of the downtown streetcar and the economic development it has and will continue to spur.”
