The directions page emphasizes driving and parking and the home page emphasizes "free parking!" The directions page does tell about Metro as an "also accessible" option and mentions it as a 3/4 mile walk from the Metrolink station and mentions that bus route closures may apply. That would discourage anyone from taking Metro. How can we promote transit to this event all about green energy? I understand that no St. Louis event of any kind can be successful without free parking. But can't we give Transit equal time with the free parking promotion?
