I think the primary objective was to hook Washington University, Clayton (business district and County Gov't center), and tentatively reach into South St. Louis county drivers. I don't think there was a really racial component to the decision to build out the line as it is, although they could have gotten more south county drivers if it had been extended farther south than it is. <BR/><BR/>To my knowledge, this line didn't utilize any federal funds that were available and relied on all local funds. The biggest problems came in when they ran into major cost overruns due to starting the project with an incomplete plan.DigitalCaffeinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195787075981783011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640555510070886192.post-9316745478271117442008-11-18T09:14:00.000-06:002008-11-18T09:14:00.000-06:00Darrell, buses will probably always be the easy ro...Darrell, buses will probably always be the easy route. The problem with buses over a fixed rail system is that buses won't help build community. Studies have shown that where there is a fixed rail system, there will be transit related developments near to stops. In long run, fixed rail helps build tax money for the city as well as moving people around town. The best of both worlds, in my opinion, would be to have a buses feed into a trolley/streetcar system.DigitalCaffeinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195787075981783011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640555510070886192.post-69527464880508325282008-11-17T22:11:00.000-06:002008-11-17T22:11:00.000-06:00interesting thoughts on transit! your last comment...interesting thoughts on transit! your last commenter is right about buses being first choice, although they turn out to be more expensive in the long run. The average life of a bus that costs $250-$400K is 6 years. A streetcar or LRV will have a lifetime of 75 years.<BR/><BR/>one thing about your article that struck me was the notion of "cross-county." is there a potential racial element to that?YatPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323402713937018581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640555510070886192.post-55798235329505402692008-11-17T13:26:00.000-06:002008-11-17T13:26:00.000-06:00Dear Randy:Your insights are dead on.

But untill the last drop of oil is sucked from the ground and last pound of coal is dug out the earth, public transit in the St. Louis area will always face problems. <BR/><BR/>In regards to your earler post about LRT Vs Buses. Bues will always be the first pick for public transit systems due to costs. LRT systems when you get down to it, is a railroad and as such it still is subject to large capital and labor costs inherent to a railroad.<BR/><BR/>As to the LRT Vs Bus in "Green" game. Buses can run on cleaner fuels (Biodeasl, CNG/LNG, H2) or use electric drives. Trying to sell LRT on just its green transit cred is weak arugument. <BR/><BR/>DarrellAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401446764921201820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640555510070886192.post-13538235411003440922008-11-15T22:57:00.000-06:002008-11-15T22:57:00.000-06:00Not a problem Gregg!

Clearly, any business that runs a shop or office has utility bills to pay - as does every household. Utility bills have gone up by an estimated 85 per cent on average over the past five years, according to consumer group Energywatch.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-------------------------<BR/>hesslei...........<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.drivenwide.com" REL="nofollow">social bookmarking</A>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16203208898114850082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640555510070886192.post-86585023968547603192008-07-11T13:36:00.000-05:002008-07-11T13:36:00.000-05:00Cool!
