Plans for the KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension were unveiled Saturday, marking the beginning of a major transformation for the Berkley Riverfront area.

The new extension will stretch 0.7 miles, connecting from Third Street and the Grand Boulevard bridge to end near the midpoint of Berkley Riverfront. The stop will place visitors just a five-minute walk from CPKC Stadium, with completion timed for the World Cup.

Jon Stephens is the president and CEO of Port KC.
