This site is a great location to densify an inner ring suburb. To the west is the city and to the east is a great commercial street, as good of one we have in any of our inner ring suburbs. Johnson Drive almost feels like it's in the city. Creating a large mixed-use development on this site would do a lot toward connecting Mission to the city. It would work very well with any future rail lines we extend out to Johnson Drive.

(sigh) What a fail.
Why can't they get this project off the ground? Other projects that were on hold/stopped building during the recession (Corbin Park and Prairie Fire in Overland Park, and Park Place in Leawood), are now building towards completion, while this project never even moved dirt. I would think there is demand for a retail project like this in Mission......
