Loop streetcars get final approval
Streetcars will be returning to the Delmar Loop. Monday evening, the University City Council unanimously approved "conditional use" permits for the Loop Trolley Company.
Plans call for the streetcars to run down Delmar to DeBalivier, then south to the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park.
The project is expected to cost around $40 million, with $25 million coming from a federal grant.
The trolley should be up and running by late summer of 2014.
