St. Louis, Maryland?

Tho above screen captures are from the Maryland Transit Administration's Red Line Corridor Transit Study for the Baltimore Region. Their 3-D animated renderings must be seen to be believed! Check out the videos here.


If Metro were able to produce such renderings, maybe it could get St. Louisans to literally see the possibilities. Then again, if St. Louis were in transit-friendly Maryland, and not car-ownership-is-next-to-Godliness Missouri, maybe we'd already have a transit system to brag about.

...which reminds me of what a few of us talked about doing following the April City Affair with guest Tom Shrout. Though I agree with frustration felt by those of us who expect so much more because the answers are so freaking obvious, we do have to be thankful that our city does in fact have an operating light rail transit system. Other, equal or larger and certainly demographically similar cities (e.g. Milwaukee) only dream of what our city already has, but we need to not only boast about our system, but make it something worth boasting about.
