Fox2 Misses Story, Dwells on Temporary Negatives of Popular, Transformative South Grand Streetscape Project

"There's word Tuesday night drastic street changes on St. Louis' historic South Grand Boulevard are about to become permanent. The most heavily criticized changes, dozens of concrete pots marking off new lane reductions from Arsenal south to Humphrey, will go, but the lane reductions are staying.

Grand Boulevard will never be the same."

This is how Fox2 chooses to frame their story on the South Grand streetscape project. "Drastic street changes," "heavily criticized changes,"never be the same." Lazy reporting of a transformative project that has garnered the support of prominent skeptics, area businesses and many residents alike. No mention of effectively slowing traffic, no mention of wider sidewalks, just "lane reductions". And since when has Fox2 become nostalgic about Grand Boulevard?
