Monday Poll results: Which way on KCI?

After the City Council last week heard details about plans to upgrade Kansas City International Airport, we asked where you stood on related questions. Build a new, single terminal structure or modernize and adapt existing terminals?

The airlines and consultants studying the issue told city officials that a new airport would be at least $40 million cheaper than a major renovation. Total cost could approach or exceed $1 billion.

Here are the results of our unscientific survey, based on nearly 800 responses.

1) Despite the cost difference, the convenience of today’s KCI trumps any argument for a new, single terminal.

Agree strongly 28%

Agree 10%

2) The current KCI portrays a negative image to much of the traveling public, which should lead to building a new terminal.
