The infamous Kansas City-area interchange[*1] known for years as “The Grandview Triangle[*2] ” has been officially renamed to “The Three Trails Crossing[*3] .”
Officials will hold a ceremony at 1 p.m. today to unveil the newmarkers bound for the busy interchange where Interstates 435 and 470and U.S. 71 converge in south Kansas City. The ceremony will take placetwo blocks south of Bannister Road on Marion Park Drive near themonuments for the Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails.
Crews then will install the signs along I-435, I- 470 and U.S. 71.
Any bets on how long it will take the locals to stop referring to it as “The Triangle?”
