The Kansas City Streetcar's Main Street expansion opens to riders in less than 10 days. FOX4 is giving you a first look at the highly anticipated project.

The long-awaited extension will stretch the streetcar from Union Station to 51st Street and Brookside Boulevard near the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
