Make sure you avoid traffic tie-ups and other problems during the All Star game next week by signing up for text alerts. The Kansas City Police Department will be sending out instant notices of traffic problems, road closures and emergency situations. The alerts will cover all of the events July 6-10 surrounding the All-Star game, such as Fan Fest, the Home Run Derby, the Red Carpet Parade and the game itself.
(In case you’ve missed the excitement in the baseball world, the All-Star game will be played in Kansas City this year. While none of the events will take place in Midtown, both Westport and the Plaza are gearing up for record crowds of visitors).
To sign up for text alerts, text ALLSTARKC to 888777. The alerts are free although some cellular plans may charge for them.
