RESOLUTION <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the East-West Gateway Coordinating Council analysis of the various <br />potential MetroLink alignments from the current line to Clayton has entered its final stage, <br />and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, there is a high degree of likelihood that an alignment along the <br />Millbrook/Forest Park Parkway is among the favored choices, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Mayor and University City Council have continued to study the <br />issue and inform themselves concerning the various ramifications of the potential choices, <br />and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, citizens of University City have expressed their views concerning the <br />matter, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council believe it imperative that the City state a <br />position regarding the proposed alignments and the desired mitigation for the citizens of <br />University City, <br /> <br /> NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City express its desire that the <br />alignment chosen be the Millbrook/Forest Park alignment as it is the sense of the Mayor and <br />Council that such proposed alignment offers the most desirable potential service to <br />University City residents and commercial interests as well as provides the most cost <br />effective service for the greatest number of the citizens of Metropolitan St. Louis. In <br />addition, however, the City's support is contingent upon the design of the alignment <br />reflecting the following standards in order to provide the optimum of safety and service to <br />University City while enhancing the property values and ambiance of the affected <br />neighborhoods: <br /> <br />underground (cut and cover or tunnel) construction for that part of the <br />alignment along Millbrook between the eastern University City limits and the <br />7200 block of Millbrook Boulevard, and <br /> <br />2. underpasses for the rail alignment at all intersecting roadways, and <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />underground (cut and cover or tunnel) construction for that part of the <br />alignment along the Forest Park Parkway right-of-way west of the 7200 <br /> <br /> <br />
