The corridor was first studied in 1998.[1][2] It was one of six corridors analyzed in a Major Transportation Investment Analysis (MTIA) commissioned by the East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWG).[1]

Proposed route

This alignment is one of two proposed routes that will serve St. Louis City. It will run from Downtown St. Louis to Florissant Valley Community College in North County serving Jennings, Dellwood, and Ferguson.

gollark: > 5. .net platform is cracker / hacker friendly Any program running on the client can INEVITABLY be reverse-engineered. Do not rely on it not experiencing that, because you will fail.
gollark: > 4. XAML - the incredibly messy UI technologyPerhaps, but this is not a *language* thing.
gollark: > 3. Garbage collector and memory leak detection tools?Again, not sure if anyone actually runs into this sort of issue in practice.
gollark: > 1. Performance penalties.> [some rambling about C++].NET is generally pretty much *fast enough*. If your application somehow hits performance bottlenecks, rewrite the slow bits in native code, don't just immediately take a development speed hit.> 2. Need to interoperate with C++ / Native (Windows) API’sI don't know how often you actually need to bind to a native API not wrapped by .NET or a third-party library, but you can do it, it's just annoying - but probably less than using C++ for everything!
gollark: This is outrageous pro-C++ anti-C# propaganda.
