Good question - just someone who is very familiar to a lot of Chiefs Planet related events and causes. When this idea was hatched, this person was one of several people who immediately came to mind as someone to contact and it totally blew me away that this person not only showed clear interest, but offered to take care of the entire cost of the signs and did just that....

MoDOT did just respond as per Platte County, as well as people who work in these counties but don’t reside there. I’m just going to copy and paste their position...
The signatures of Missouri residents supporting Mr. Delaney’s designation shall be from the counties which touch Jackson County, that said, the counties accepted are Jackson, Cass, Clay, Johnson, Lafayette and Ray. The reason for this requirement is it validates the support of the memorial for residents living close to the proposed route within in their community.
*
Even though there are individuals who reside in Kansas and work at a business location within Kansas City, this designation is a Missouri state roadway and not a Kansas state roadway. The signatures must be that of the individual’s primary residence within Jackson, Cass, Clay, Johnson, Lafayette and Ray Counties. Signature of Missouri residents will only be accepted. Business address may not be substituted for the supporter’s primary residential location.

Wish there was better news to report but that is their position. As has been mentioned before, Platte County residents can still if you want send signatures and we will just add to the list of 100 valid signatures as a symbolic cherry on top.... [Reply]
Chiefs RB Joe Delaney died in 1983 trying to save drowning children. Here's how you can help honor his name on a stretch of I-435 near Arrowhead Stadium if you live in one of six nearby Missouri counties: https://t.co/j7D0kL8EAy

The KC Star ipetitions has 6 (out of 8) which are valid signatures also.
Also comes word that the Chiefs - via the Chiefs Ambassadors, plan to soon/shortly put something on their social media. If it’s the Chiefs social media, this will explode. If it’s Chiefs Ambassadors, then they have a Twitter feed known as Kansas City Ambassadors which has a relatively decent size platform.... [Reply]
Clay is right as this is definitely coming into focus more.
You are welcome to send in your own signature as when this is all done I shall be sending in the 100 eligible signatures but also in separate email signatures from other Missouri counties not eligible and even out of state signatures. They won’t count but just want to emphasize the message of how widely approved and supported this project is.
Wish we could get some fellas in from Ray and Johnson County. It’s surprising neither has had a single signature. We have signatures from Dallas County and Clinton County in Missouri but it won’t unfortunately count. [Reply]
