apology not accepted, i request a fine of $2,500 be levied by forum adminssc4mayor wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021I know they’re only looking at N/S.
I didn’t know that meant we weren’t allowed to discuss other ideas and thoughts here. My apologies.
That is a giant pain in the a*s and will never win out over a quick uber for those in downtwon clayton. Further, those on the western edge of UCity near 170 Delmar and Olive don't have access to the metrolink.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021Never going to happen because to state the obvious you can get on metrolink in Clayton today and take it to the airportjeff707 wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021I think the most bang for the buck would be clayton up to the airport along 170. A lot of actual ridership would occur and could spur some TOD along the way.
Yes, I believe metro is planning a $155m spend to replace 1/3 of it. RFP is going out soon and first cars should role in around 2024dweebe wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021Doesn't the rolling stock need to be updated badly?
Could be more when waiting for a transfer at Forest Parksc4mayor wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021^^^^ Check is in the mail
^^ That’s my thought. I rarely use it to the airport because of the extra 10-15 minutes of riding into the city and waiting for another train only to have to double back out west again. Like I said, my reasons are selfish haha.
^ Great to hear!
It basically triples the amount of time (from 15 to around 45 minutes) and costs about 1/15th the price compared to an Uber or Lyft.dweebe wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021Could be more when waiting for a transfer at Forest Parksc4mayor wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021^^^^ Check is in the mail

People from exurban St. Louis that don’t shop at the Galleria think the MetroLink ruined the Galleria haha. It didn’t.OnTheEdge wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021^Well, that sounds a bit prematurely pessimistic. Things can change. Who knows what the future holds. Also, what's the "Galleria debacle"?
I understood it as the mall owners/staff claim theft and general incidents increased as soon as metrolink opened. As in metrolink caused it.whitherSTL wrote:I live in Shrewsbury and I’ve been going to the Galleria since the late 80’s. And I know for a fact that even people at Westfield, whom I know, state that as a fact.
Also, ask any store or restaurant owner there. You’re wrong and you’re being disingenuous.
The RFT ran a hit piece back around 2008 that said the same thing. Richmond Heights Police disagreed. There was I think one year went it went up a bit, and a few years later was below where it had been prior to Cross County.ldai_phs wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021I understood it as the mall owners/staff claim theft and general incidents increased as soon as metrolink opened.

No mention of Metrolink in that article.whitherSTL wrote: ↑Nov 17, 2021Um, you must live in a safe space:

That’s not half of them….
No I’m not. I live less than two miles from the Galleria and shop there regularly.

I don’t think anyone here, or at least I don’t believe the blue line and galleria crime are connected. But it is something I’ve read about and heard community members peddle in the past. It’s a concern people have that is not based in reality (a real fake concern). The “criminals take transit to commit crimes” line is repeated all over the country.dweebe wrote:It's convenient to blame the changes at the Galleria on the opening of the blue line (2007?) and not talk about Jamestown Mall and Northwest either being closed or essentially dead around the same time.
And I missed the Metrolink line that runs to West County Mall. Or the Metrolink lines that caused Crestwood Plaza to die and Chesterfield Mall to be on death's door.
