Metro Service in the 8th Ward
By Cara | May 27, 2009
It looks like Metro services to 8th ward residents will either be increased or extended. Here are some of the proposed changes:
57 Manchester
The 57 Manchester would no longer serve the Grand MetroLink Station, but service would be provided between Wildwood and the Civic Center MetroBus Center seven days a week. Weekday and Saturday service would operate every 30-minutes between the Civic Center MetroBus Center and Barrett Station Road, and every 60-minutes to Wildwood. Sunday service would operate every 40-minutes between the Civic Center MetroBus Center and Barrett Station Road, and every 80-minutes to Wildwood.
59 Shaw
Service would extend to the Webster Groves area, ending at the Rock Hill Loop via Brentwood Boulevard, Kirkham Road, Elm Avenue, and Lockwood. All trips would serve Maplewood Commons. Weekday and Saturday service would operate every 30-minutes during daytime service and every 60-minutes during evening service. Sunday service would operate every 60-minutes all-day.
70 Grand
Weekday service would change from operating every 15-minutes to every 12-minutes from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Service would extend to Broadway and Taylor until 9:30 p.m. These changes are proposed because of heavy passenger loads.
