Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

St. Louis County is testing the waters for lane reductions on Gravois Road in an effort to create a more "Main Street-like" feel through South County.

The Great Streets Gravois Project would affect the 1.7 mile stretch from River Des Peres to MacKenzie. They want to improve sidewalks, lighting and pedestrian safety. The biggest part of it would be to create a road diet from Seibert to Elgin, reducing it from five lanes to three.

Wednesday night, residents and business owners in Affton attended an open house at Affton High School to learn more details.

MoBikeFed comment: Public reaction here is typical for road diet projects--fear of the unknown before the project rolls out, then strong community support once it is in place and people see how it really works.
