Don: Exactly! While I don't think it'd reach the level Michigan Avenue is at, a Memorial Blvd. through dotwonwn COULD be a smaller-but-still successful St. Louis version.I want Memorial Drive to stay in place (and then converted to Blvd.) not to connect the City to the Archgrounds, but to better connect north-to-south. We've got a pretty blank slate north of the Dome and if we build to connect it, we're building toward dotwonwn growth. A lid and subsequently more highway division effectively kills off that potential for another 40 years.It's so obvious!
