I also propose the construction of street running light rail on Broadway from downtown south to Soulard, Marine Villa, and old Carondelet which will not be served by the North-South future light rail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14698828.post-24759987136102133732008-10-04T08:20:00.000-07:002008-10-04T08:20:00.000-07:00People whose minds are controlled by cheap oil con...People whose minds are controlled by cheap oil continue to spout nonsense that highways equal accessibility. Lifeblood comes from the heart not polluting, noisy boxes of death and destruction. Highways create the drive-through convenience which governs behavior. Even the New 64 has higher, more intrusive and elevated ramps than necessary as does the old 70. The StL region has neither the money, spirit or concern to do it right and proves once again the yang screws yin by design.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14698828.post-34094609815265817832008-10-03T13:45:00.000-07:002008-10-03T13:45:00.000-07:00If you studied Chinese culture, you would know tha...If you studied Chinese culture, you would know that in your example, the depressed lanes are the "yin" and the elevated sections are the "yang". <BR/><BR/>The yang fills the yin and they become one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14698828.post-8892061584896771092008-10-03T09:50:00.000-07:002008-10-03T09:50:00.000-07:00This plan brings traffic into the city.

Do you know what happens to towns/cities when major highways get rerouted around them. They're less convenient to get to and they're not on the way to as many places. Understandably, this results in fewer people stopping in on that city, going shopping, seeing the sites, getting lunch, etc. I don't think that's what we want for our city. I'm OK with making the "sites" more tourist and resident accessible, but not at the expense of rerouting our lifeblood.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583490816203630796noreply@blogger.com
