Session 1835 <br />March 18, 2002 <br /> <br />repair work would not impede any future long range plans. Fiberglass deteriorates over <br />time and the bad areas are cut out and replaced. These funds are in the budget. <br /> <br />The motion to approve carried unanimously. <br /> <br />ADDED: AGENDA ITEM #4 - PICNIC LICENSE FOR TIVOLI THEATER: <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer moved to add the item to the agenda. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion, <br />which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommends approval of a picnic license to sell all types of alcoholic <br />beverages by the drink on March 24, 2002, in connection with the St. Louis Film Festival <br />at the Tivoli Theater, 6350 Delmar in the University City Loop. Events in this <br />neighborhood have been held in the past without any negative consequences. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved approval. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion, which carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: LOOP FIXED TRACK TROLLEY: <br /> <br />Mayor Adams presented a resolution supporting a vintage fixed-track trolley line - <br />running from University City Hall east on Delmar Boulevard to DeBaliviere Avenue and <br />then south on DeBaliviere Avenue to the Missouri History Museum, and returning as <br />proposed by The Loop Trolley Company. <br /> <br />Eleanor Ruder, 6311 Westminster Place, said that she has been a business owner in <br />the Loop for sixteen years. She owns the Componere Art Gallery and has been a <br />resident of Parkview since 1949. She used to ride the streetcar when she went to high <br />school and would like to see the fixed rail streetcar re-established as a tourist attraction. <br /> <br />Carol Crudden, 7425 Shaftesbury, said that she owns a business in the Loop called <br />Ziezo and said that she has been there for twenty years. She is in the process of <br />opening a shoe store at the corner of Westgate and Delmar. She is here to voice her <br />support for the fixed track trolley rail. <br /> <br />Joe Edwards, 6309 McPherson, urged the Council to vote for this resolution that would <br />get a vintage fixed track trolley system back in the area hopefully, because there is a lot <br />of competition in other cities and states for similar systems. This line would connect us <br />to the 12 million visitors in Forest Park. He believes this would be a grand addition to <br />the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe moved approval of the resolution. Ms. Colquitt seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman wonders if this resolution is implying that we are seeking federal grant <br /> <br /> <br />
