KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An advisory committee tasked with deciding how to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one step closer to making its recommendation.
On Wednesday the committee narrowed down its proposals to five:
- Paseo Blvd.
- Linwood Blvd.
- 63rd St.
- 12th St.
- The new KCI Airport
“I really do love the idea of people seeing the name Dr. Martin Luther King as they enter into our city,” said Donna Simon, a co-chair of the advisory group.
