Kansas City, Missouri — The KC Streetcar Constructors (KCSC) is celebrating another milestone as walls go up on the E. Crichton Singleton Vehicle Maintenance Facility next week.
According to a press release, the first exterior pre-cast wall panels will be installed at the Singleton Yard, located at Third and Holmes Streets, using a 133-foot crane on Monday, Jan. 26. The crane will arrive in the morning and following its set-up, the exterior precast wall panels will be installed. It is anticipated these wall panels will be installed throughout the week. The heaviest precast wall panel weighs 47,360 lbs. Nearly 50 precast exterior panels will be used. This area of Holmes Street will be closed to thru traffic until Friday, Jan. 30, unless otherwise noted.
The vehicle maintenance facility, named “Singleton Yard” after architect and long-time transit advocate E. Crichton ” Kite” Singleton, will be a two-story, full-service station for repairing, servicing and maintaining the streetcars for the KC Downtown Streetcar line. This site is unique as it will allow ground access to both the upper and lower levels because of the slope of the terrain. For more information, contact the KC Streetcar office at info@kcstreetcar.org, 816-859-7019 or 816-804-8882.
