ST. LOUIS (KPLR) – The federal government has given the planned trolley system from the Loop to Forest Park $25 million dollar grant. A $25 million dollar, 'Urban Circulator Grant' was given to the project, as one of five grants given nationally.
The cash would cover more than half of the cost for the $43 million dollar project.
The project is slated to be completed sometime next year.

What about the lawsuit against the Trolley? Also, these funds require certain “livability requirements” that the Loop Trolley does not address.
