“A button wasn't pushed, and the sirens were not deployed,” the mayor said. [...] There was a failure, a human failure, a failure in protocol to get the sirens up and running to let the community know that there was a massive weather event hitting our community.” www.stlpr.org/government-p...

Has anyone talked about why the city's tornado sirens weren't consistently going off on Friday? They certainly weren't audible where I was downtown.

Erratic driver crashed into me at CWE stoplight Sat night & drove off while my car was immobilized in a drive lane. I called police at 10:12pm and they took 90+ minutes to arrive at 11:45. In 2022 I witnessed a hit & run on Boyle & stayed with driver till police arrived - also 90+ minutes.

Will our leaders defend residents by publicly pushing back on this bad decision to prioritize optics over actual riders? @saintlouispres.bsky.social @caraspencer.bsky.social @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social

If you have feedback on these fare gates or other issues, be sure to share your feedback! The Board was caught off guard at their last meeting by many of the complaints that any daily rider would know. www.bistatedev.org/board/public...

Of course the gates should be open until the system is active. Laughably bad judgment by Metro leaders 🤦🏼‍♂️ Metro security head Kevin Scott “said Metro had ‘absolutely not’ considered leaving gates open until the new fare payment system is active.” www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

If Leo was here pre-'77, he would have been at St. Henry's & not Immaculate Conception? 🤔 “'We put it up for sale. If somebody doesn’t buy, we just keep working on it.

Speaking of Immaculate Conception on Lafayette, does anyone know why it's for sale? The Schuchards spent a year winning approval to convert to an event space & coffee bar. Few buyers for massive churches, so at least it seems in good hands w/ the Schuchards in the meantime. buff.ly/wbMI9Z9
