KC Streetcar operations facility nears completion

The Kansas City Streetcar Authority (KCSA) announced late last week that the Singleton Yard Vehicle Maintenance Facility is nearly complete and ready for the arrival of the first streetcar vehicle.

The Singleton Yard is a two-story, full-service operations center that will repair, service and maintain all four of the Kansas City Streetcar vehicles. It is built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standards, with additions such as solar tube lighting in the maintenance bays and previous pavement throughout the facility, KCSA officials said.

"The Singleton Yard is, in part, a visual representation of the hard work, determination, and leadership put in by many individuals throughout the years," said Tom Gerend, KCSA's executive director.
