OT: Traffic nightmare getting to the Dome

Post by Uncle John »

New bumpouts installed on N. Broadway on the east side of the Dome are causing a traffic nightmare.

There's going to be a major rally in downtown St. Louis this Sat, 3-28 starting at 11:00am. Allow time for traffic to get to the Dome from wherever you're driving from.

Unbelievable that the city issued a demonstration permit for the same day that the Hawks, Cards, and Blues are all downtown.

I know right, who would imagine high traffic in a major downtown?! What an inconvenience! Someone really needs to think of the comfort of the twice yearly suburban visitor and his reliance on a quick escape back to their safe suburban sprawl. It certainly makes me big mad!

Take Metrolink, It's quick, easy, hassle free, and a lot cheaper than parking. Wherever you live, drive to a Metrolink station with free parking, which is most of them, and sit back and relax.

If you live in West St. Louis County near Manchester Road, you can ride the Metro bus for $1.00 to the MetroLink station in Maplewood. There are dozens of metro bus stops on Manchester Road from Wildwood to Maplewood. Last year, I started riding the bus then taking the metrolink to downtown St. Louis for sporting events and concerts. A round-trip ticket for bus and metrolink rides is $7.00.

Those of us who do go there are very glad that you don't.
