Here is a list a very preliminary list of ideas to improve the city.
1. Future residential development must be done on existing foundations.
2. Halt spending on subsidizing the expansion of the suburbs.
3. Install Bike lanes along roads where there is room to do so.
4. Continue to expand Metro Link
5.

The fair city of Chicago is a nice place just as long as you stay inside the inner ring of normalcy. Downtown Chicago makes St Louis look like a cut rate ultra conservative graveyard of the 1904 Worlds Fair. Which it is.

Hoosiers of all breeds will descend on Soulard like a plague of locusts hoping to lure drunk girls from Chesterfield back to Perryville and Potosi where they can seduce them with promises of Macho Mugs filled with Bud Light and hypnotize them with fishing lures.
