Candidates for the June 23 city council elections will address questions about transportation, redevelopment and neighborhood services at a candidate forum this evening.

MainCor, the Broadway Westport Council, the Westport Regional Business League, the James B. Nutter Company, and the Midtown KC Post will sponsor a forum tonight from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Uptown Theater.

The next city council, which will be elected on June 23, will make important decisions such as whether to extend the streetcar starter line down Main Street to UMKC, what to do with Kemper Arena and the airport, and how to continue development and redevelopment of Midtown.
