UPDATE: The latest incarnation of this idea is to close the Drive at 3pm on Thursday. Unfortunately this is an exceedingly divisive proposal. A movement is afoot in Northeast to close the Cliff Drive Scenic Byway to vehicular traffic Wednesday through Sunday permanently. Rarely does Hyper editorialize in this space (just happy pictures mostly) but this has my dander up. It's a bad idea and disrespects the efforts of those who created the Drive beginning in the 1890s.http://web.me.com/dremley/Keep_Cliff_Drive_Open/Welcome.html
This restricts use of the Drive to the young and able-bodied and goes against 112 years of allowing use of the Drive by all.
Cliff Drive, part of Kessler Park, is a public space and should be open all the time to all the citizens who help pay for it's upkeep. It doesn't make sense for the State of Missouri to promote the Cliff Drive Scenic Byway if it's closed to traffic.

Everyone should be able to see the views above, a Missouri State Scenic Byway, at the time of their choosing....
