East St Louis Transit Franchise Debates Over Bridge Access
A City Council meeting in East St Louis discussed extending the East St Louis & Suburban franchise to build a line on St Louis Avenue to Eighth Street and the free bridge approach. The proposal, linked to Belleville’s expansion and road paving, calls for cooperation on road improvements and track relocation with cost sharing.

The call urged public subscription to local Troy call for news.
