>> Just an FYI. Metro will be doing a brief presentation at the Creve Coeur
>> city council meeting tomorrow night on the impending service cuts for the
>> west county Creve Coeur area. The presentation will begin promptly at
>> 7pm at he Creve Coeur Government center in the multi purpose room. iF
>> you will be affected please try and come even though this is last minute.
>> The no 91 Olive bus which runs from the Delmar Metro Station to
>> Chesterfield Mall will no longer pick up passengers past Olive and 270.
>> The last pick up will be at Ballas and Olive while the bus will turn just
>> west of 270 at Coeur De Ville and go back into the city. Please keep in
>> mind if you do not live in the area but go to any doctors or medical
>> centers in this area this will mean you are no long qualified for ADA
>> paratransit services. Any trips out to doctors offices in this area will
>> then be non ADA trips meaning you will pay full Call A Ride fare which
>> starts at about $7 per zone right now but will be changed to a mileage
>> system so you will not qualify for ADA trips. All metro cuts go into
>> effect on March 30th. Signs have been posted at all effected bus stops.
>> City buses will no longer run as often and stops will be moved further
>> distances. Also Metro is holding a meeting at the MCB building Tuesday
>> morning at 10am looking for those individuals who will be effected.
>> Metro and a communications company will be presents. This is the same
>> company responsible for the Propositions M adds. Please if you are
>> effected try to attend. Also two other important points. If the bus
>> stops running at a certain time in your area you will also not be
>> eligible for ADA trips and in the city you will not have access to Call A
>> Ride for those hours there is no service. Secondly no one will recieve
>> ADA paratransit services if they are more than 3/4 of a mile from a fixed
>> route bus. If you have questions on this you may call the reservations
>> line and they can check and see if your trip will be eligible. Many
>> transit companies across the country are hedging on the 3/4 of a mile
>> limit so you may have to mapquest your trip and prove you are in that
>> zone.
