This is great news for the northside and for those of us with an interest in Old North St. Louis. Now we just need to defeat the I-70 bridge construction project so we can keep our area intact and connected to downtown.

I don't quite understand the reason to not put the I-70 bridge there, but to each his own. Good news for north st. Louis though.

A lot of good things are going to happen for N. STL. I can feel it. You have the I-70 fix up, the metrolink being planned, quite a few rehabilitation projects, the new Mississippi River bridge, and even the idea that downtown is growing so fast on its north side. I hope these plans stay on track, and I hope the future is bright for the North Side. Hopefully East St Louis can come together as well.
