To Whom it May Concern,
I’d like to bring attention to the amount of trash I’ve noticed along the MetroLink lines, particularly around the Rock Road station. It makes the city of Saint Louis look neglected and environmentally irresponsible. I wonder what visitors think when they step onto the Metro from the airport and their first glimpse of St. Louis is of trash and neglect.
Thanks,
Leah S.
Leah, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ll make sure our maintenance team reviews your feedback.
I would like to know a little more about why part of the downtown route is changing for the 410X Eureka Express. The A.M. route down 7th Street (instead of 9th street) makes the drop-off of two of your largest employee customers in that area further away from their destination (AT&T and U.S. Bank). I am aware of why some of the parts of the route changed, but this part baffles me.
Tom, some downtown MetroBus routes are being rerouted in anticipation of the temporary closure and renovation of the Civic Center Transit Center sometime this spring. In the case of the 410X Eureka Express, Metro has decided to use 7th and 8th Streets instead of 9th and 10 Streets. The city has reconfigured 9th Street and as such it is very tight for buses to travel on. We apologize for the inconvenience and will make sure your feedback is sent to both Customer Service and our Planning Department for further review. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call Customer Service at 314-982-1406.
