ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS AND DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR MAJOR TRANSIT CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

The St. Louis Central/Airport Corridor connects Metro East, downtown St. Louis, Clayton, and the Airport/McDonnell-Douglas complex. Five primary alternatives are considered to improve transit in the corridor: 1) no-action; 2) transportation system management (TSM); 3) busway; 4) light rail transit (LRT); and 5) light rail transit with shuttle bus service (to Clayton). The following effects of each of the alternatives are considered, as appropriate: transportation; economic development; displacement; neighborhood; visual and aesthetic; air quality; noise and vibration; ecosystem; water; energy; historic, archaeological, and cultural; parkland; and financial effects. The findings of the AA/DEIS study and the public hearing-AA/DEIS comments will be used to select a preferred alternative for the corridor.
