from st. louis post-dispatch:
Planners will break ground Thursday on the new 2.2-mile, $43 million Loop Trolley linking the Delmar Loop and Forest Park.
Work will begin on the western end of the alignment. The construction kickoff is planned for 11 a.m. Thursday at Limit Avenue and Delmar Boulevard in University City. Track work should begin in late May, officials said.
By the time it is up and running — projected sometime late in 2016 — project planners expect the trolley to carry about 394,000 passengers a year.
