I thought you were kidding about a near-KCI Airport location!

The worst part about KC is the urban sprawl and the roads leading into/out 
of it.   The KC Scout system is a fruitless exercise in tax dollars going 
out the window.  We already have orange cones, signs, and even people 
directing traffic for some ding dong in his/her "make room for me too SUV" 
to come barging through traffic and hold up the flow.  That means thirty 
other cars will follow their lead and come snaking into traffic 
also.   Even law enforcement vehicles on the side of the road are a target 
with the HUPA driving public.  In addition to just navigating, traffic 
reports and traffic signage is of little consequence if there is only a few 
ways around to begin with.  If there is a wreck on northbound 71, (like a 
while back) then all the other routes are clogged with traffic, and in just 
as bad a shape.
