The Kansas City Streetcar will open its Riverfront extension on May 18th, connecting the University of Missouri-Kansas City to CPKC Stadium, Berkley Riverfront Park, and the Missouri River. The extension marks a return to the streetcar’s origins and aims to reconnect the riverfront for future generations. The public is invited to a news conference and celebration on the opening day. Monthly ridership has more than doubled since the Main Street extension opened in October, with plans for potential future expansions being explored.
