St. Louis leaders now have until March 1 to submit to the feds a plan to restart operations of the Delmar Loop Trolley streetcar line.
Local leaders have warned that if federal money has to be repaid, it could make it harder for the St. Louis region to receive federal grants for future projects.
St. Louis faces losing federal funds if the Loop Trolley remains defunct. But is the 2.2-mile line worth it?
A proposal to accept an additional $1.2 million in federal funds to restart the trolley, and turn operation of the system over to the transit agency Metro, failed in October.
The Federal Government is pushing for the trolley to get back on track. The funds go to other transportation project needs.
