Some $45 million in contributions have been pledged toward a new park planned to cap downtown Kansas City’s Interstate 670. Local officials on Friday announced a $10 million contribution from Kansas City-based H&R Block, the H&R Block Foundation and the Marion and Henry Bloch Family Foundation — the largest private donation so far. Downtown boosters have envisioned building a park over the interstate for years. In addition to bringing new green space to the heart of the city, a deck over I-670 would curtail noise from the interstate traffic below. Current plans call for building a $200 million, 4.6-acre park over the interstate, from Wyandotte Street to Grand Boulevard, connecting downtown with the Crossroads Arts District.
