Andy,

At this time we are not looking at restoring the South Grand Express that served all of this area due to low ridership. Also, the #46 Tesson Ferry that served the Shrewsbury Station had very low ridership, so it is not one of our proposed restored routes.

We are looking at a route with limited service that could start at Shrewsbury Station serving River Des Peres, Mackenzie, Gravois, Lindbergh, Tesson Ferry, St. Anthony Hospital, General American, Bunker Hill, Lemay Ferry to South County Education Center. More information on proposed new routes and route changes will be featured all week on the blog.

While the restoration plan is more than welcome and I understand that it takes time to “put the ducks in a row” it still seems that 6 months is a bit long to re=establish what was already in place. I also see no indication of restoring service to the south county General American/Met Life/Cigna Butler Hill & Tesson Ferry area. I look forward to learning more at the local meeting at Mehlville HS on 4/27.. Additionally I would support full service to the Cherokee corridor from Lemp to Grand.

Courtney,

Any chance we can get a peek at what the proposed routes and schedule timings (for new and changed services) would be? Perhaps a link on the website to a “proposed new routings” section?

For example, it would be much easier to comment on the proposed 44/45 changes if I knew frequencies and where/when they were stopping.

I was wondering about the 66 and 33 buses also.
Sure hope they expand.

Will there be a route that runs on Big Bend between Shrewsbury and Clayton? Also, will train and bus frequency increase as new drivers are hired and new vehicles are acquired? One more thing, is there anyway to schedule an engagement meeting at Central West End for after-work hours? The first two meetings at CWE for the long-term plan were great, I’d like to see more than one meeting provided for city residents.

I’m a little confused. I don’t see anything in the plan about routes like 91, 258, and 58X. Does their not being in the plan mean there will be no changes to them or does it spell doom for the people who ride those routes? Also, what happened to the idea of some kind of route from the Ballas Transit Center to downtown?

Overall, this looks like a good plan. Just wondering about these small items.

What about 66 and 33?

Will 66 go back to a full schedule and will 33 go back to its original route?

I mean those should be simple minor changes.
