my brothers and i drive thru that intersection all the time, kevin lives about 1/2 mile from it. it is a creep thru intersection due to the rise of the road up to the level of 63rd street, and the surface is nearly always broken up from freezing and thawing. it is almost a rarity for the flood gate there to be open, but we have had little inclement weather lately in K.C.
seems like a waste, and a mistake.
