>> 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.
