The 49/63 Neighborhood Coalition represents approximately 3500 homes and businesses in the urban core of Kansas City, Missouri. We represent a very diverse collection of individuals and businesses - including two major universities - and enable everyone within the Coalition to work together to solve common problems and explore common goals.
The Coalition is perhaps unique in that it set our deliberately, from its founding in 1971, to bridge all levels of diversity - economic, religious, political, racial - and provide a common forum through which everyone within the Coalition could speak.
The 49/63 Neighborhood Coalition represents a diverse neighborhood; therefore, opinions expressed on this website do not necessarily represent the Coalition's Communications Committee, its Board of Directors, its Officers, or the neighborhood as a whole.

Be sure to check out the series of photographs taken of Troost Avenue in the 49/63 area during the 1940's! You'll recognize some of the places, but others may be long gone. Go to the "Past Activities" section of the site to look at and download these fascinating images.
As one of the two major universities located within the boundaries of 49/63, Rockhurst University has a big impact on the neighborhoods surrounding it. The University has recently begun a long-term masterplanning process and is at the stage where they are ready to discuss some of their initial concepts with 49/63 residents. If you'd like to see what has been proposed up to this point, please join us at our August general meeting. The meeting will take place Tuesday, August 26th at 7:30 pm at the Rockhurst University Community Center. As usual, any residents are encouraged to attend the CAN/COMBAT meeting held prior to the general meeting at 6:30 pm at the Community Center - these meetings are designed to let residents air any concerns they have with criminal activity in the neighborhood and offer an opportunity to connect with CAN/COMBAT personnel, as well as police officers, who may be able to help them with issues.
