Significant investment in public transit like installing a light rail and increasing the number of bus routes; particularly from north to south.

It makes me sad to see the old timey photos of downtown Springfield and the nice Trolley system that brought people there.

That’s a thought. I haven’t been to Kansas City, MO lately, but they have a trolley that will take you from Union Station to the farmers market district just north of I-35 but still south of the river. The trolley may even be free.

Trolley is free, and runs pretty much on time from what I can tell from my visits. It’s good for pretty much that direct route and a maybe one or two interesting spots in between, but could definitely use some work.

They had more reasons to go downtown than overpriced bars.
