Public Art at 31st and Troost at the new MAX bus stop

A few weeks ago I spotted new public art installations at at least two locations along the new Troost MAX bus line that started running at the new year. This one, completed, is located at 31st and Troost, same site as the anticipated Troost Festival every year in May and across the street from Operation Breakthrough headquarters. There is another MAX bus stop public art installation down the road eight blocks at 39th and Troost that’s not quite completed yet.

While prepping for my photo here I could see what a transit terminus this intersection of 31st and Troost really is during the rush hour. It was around 5:30pm and at a point there were KCATA buses at all four sides of the intersection.

New public art installations around the city are always fun and interesting to nab photos of.

Crown Center Art Installation

A look up at the public art installation and high-rise office buildings in Kansas City where Main and Grand Blvd intersect right where midtown ends and downtown begins.

Fountain at 8th and Main

At a questionable hour on Saturday night, I perched in the median with my camera and tripod rigged toward this fountain in the middle of the street, amid several of the Commerce Bank properties on Main between 8th and 9th in the north loop. I used my fisheye lens here and cropped the photo somewhat on the computer afterwards.
