If the businesses that back SOS can&#8217;t get it through their heads that a dedicated transit line is good for their business as well, then they should get out of the &#8216;hood. Having lived along St. Calir for three years now and having used the route over 200 days of the year, I fully agree that an improved line will make life on that street much more livable, beautiful, and add a sense of sophistication to a commerical strip that has been spinning its wheels for over two decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somthing to watch for today: a court decision on whether to let construction of the St. Clair Right of Way to continue.
