On Oct. 12, a meeting regarding the design of the DeBaliviere Station to accommodate expansion was held at Crossroads School.

The first hour was devoted to questions and answers from neighborhood residents.. Every speaker expressed concern that the expanded line will cause considerable traffic congestion and perhaps impede safety when the train crosses DesPeres at grade level. Under the proposed plan, no one will be able to make a left from the Parkway going east onto DesPeres.

This will increase already heavy traffic on Skinker.

Most of the speakers wanted the train to run underground. BiState said that was infeasible because of the tunnel containing the River DesPeres. Experts in the neighborhood disputed BiState’s conclusion. BiState will examine the situation only if it receives direction from its CEO and its board.

After a brief break, neighbors and BiState staff and consultants took part in a charette to gather ideas for the design of the reconfigured DeBaliviere station.
