They may be diverted or limited to local deliveries only, but such a decision would only happen if there was MODOT and city approval. I'm certain its even more complicated than that.<br /><br />Regarding truck traffic in general, and the new 64, some people suggested replacing the whole of I-64 through the heart of the region with an at grade boulevard.<br /><br />Do you think that would have been better than the current interstate highway?<br /><br />Again, STL Rising welcome anonymous comments, so thanks for contributing to the conversation.Rick Bonaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825477678253483191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14698828.post-81510780837950377672010-02-03T08:58:58.595-08:002010-02-03T08:58:58.595-08:00The New 64 was designed to allow for larger truck ...The New 64 was designed to allow for larger truck traffic and for higher speeds. This obviously creates numerous problems for the region, do you thus believe the Arch grounds deserve better treatment than all the people who live along 64? Double standards should be our MO?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
