Metro Transit Agency Fills In Gaps In St. Louis’ Sidewalks
Transit needs to meet the needs of its customers. One need is to be able to reach the transit vehicle. In many parts of the city the sidewalk network is incomplete or so poor it is no longer passable. Metro, our local transit agency, has stepped up to do what it can do to fill in gaps here and there.
Ideally this intersection, N 14th & O’Fallon, would get new sidewalks when a new urban building is constructed. But that is years away, if ever. We can’t wait for new structures to get new sidewalks.

It's not only the City that needs some help at the bus stops. There's 2 stops along Watson Road in Crestwood plopped in grass that have no sidewalks at all. It's disheartening watching people slosh through tall/wet grass for 3 blocks to stand in a puddle at a metal pole. Even a little cement around the pole itself would be a welcome oasis. Hoping Metro can free up more funds to improve even more stops, and heartened that they understand that it's the little things that make the most difference to the riders.
