Looking forward to another opportunity to talk about Porter Park

Some of us who are interested in Porter Park (a/k/a Ruth Porter Mall) saw one another at the open house about the proposed Loop Trolley project on July 8. The St. Vincent Greenway, which probably will run through Porter Park, needs to share space with the trolley on DeBaliviere Avenue, the street south of the park. If realized, the trolley running back and forth through the Loop to Forest Park at Missouri History Museum, would add another element of excitement.

To discuss Porter Park itself, you can attend a meeting sponsored by Better Family Life at 6 p.m. Monday, July 20, at Connect Care on Delmar at Belt, just east of DeBaliviere. The greenway's project manager and consulting engineer will combine to make a presentation, and the displays from the June 15 public forum also will be available again.

This meeting will be focused on the park alone, so the discussion after the presentation should be lively.
