Buses Running On Troost - Only Forsythe Knows

Regular readers know that I like Mark Forsythe for Kansas City's Fourth District City Council in-district race, and that I like Troost Avenue. Troost is regaining its former glory as a home to cool shops and fun places - I once did all my wife's birthday shopping on Troost Avenue, and got some great stuff.

Yesterday, Mark's blog showed a confluence of a great candidate and a great boulevard. He reported on funding for a new bus line on Troost, and then treats us to a spectator's seat in a policy wonk discussion about what is and is not BRT. This is uncut Mark Forsythe - caring about a part of his future district that is outside the Ward Parkway corridor, caring enough about the voters to engage them in serious discussion, and being cool enough to use a blog to just put himself out there. Fantastic stuff.

Meanwhile, Solomon, Marcason and Amador are silent and irrelevant.
