Will the new westbound Interstate 70 bridge into St. Charles County have any facilities for pedestrians/bicycles?

How does a subdivision go about getting its streets repaved, not patched over and over? I've written my St. Louis County Councilmen and gotten nowhere. My subdivision is in Affton and includes Is encircled by Radio and Hale, which all residents must travel to get to their homes. The smaller streets within the subdividision also need repaving but that's probably WAY too much to ask. What is the process for repaving subdivision roads that have been patched to death to the point that they are more like washboards than streets.

Excellent question. There are presently no options besides Page.
City Worker December 17, 2012 at 02:31 pm
I work for a county municipality and you need to talk to the Director of Public Works to get help with repaving. When you ask the councilmen they just tell the Director to do it and council has no idea what the budget is or whether or not Public Works has the time to do it so cut the middleman and call him/her. If you live in the City of Afton your city is unincoporated so anything you need goes through St. Louis County. The St. Louis County Public Works Directors phone number is 314-615-7081 and her name is Sheryl Hodges. Hope this helps.

City Worker, thank you so much for this information. I will follow up for sure.

Thanks for the question about bicycle accommodations. How about the same thing going across the 141 bridge over the Meramec just north of 141? You may recall that was one of the highest items listed on the MoDOT high priority list for bike/ped projects developed in fall 2010. There are no other options for getting across the river in southwest St. Louis County other than the Highway 30 bridge, and this would be a huge help to bicyclists and pedestrians and in particular, those who'd love to get out of their cars and on bikes for their work/school commute.
City Worker December 17, 2012 at 07:07 pm
No problem your welcome.....let me know how it goes. If you need any other resources. I don't work for St. Louis County I work for another municipality but they are all the same. But yeah Public Works is the only place your answer can get resolved.
Linda Wilson Horn December 20, 2012 at 03:18 pm
I assume you are referring to 141 in Valley Park just north of I-44. That is the only spot where 141 crosses the Meramec River. We do have future plans to rebuild the 141 and I-44 interchange so it can be considered with those designs.

I rest my case that there are nearly not enough comments on articles that we read in the Patch...IRead More asked for a comment, got no comment.

This is an important opportunity for all residents who want to have input on Civic Park and theRead More changes that they want to see now that Civic Hall is gone. The men and women of the city council and parks department who are making these decisions need to hear from us.

Thanks for the reminder Jim! Sounds like the perfect concert to kick off summer!

She's on vacation at the moment. When she returns she'll still be here, but in a different role.Read More Instead of just working with O'Fallon, she'll be working with multiple Patch sites across St. Louis. While she's doing other things, Tammy Duncan and I will be posting often around here. Basically Jordan is still very much involved, but she just won't be writing as many stories.

Joe, any chance they have figured out how to port the past news stories over yet?
Joe Barker (Editor) June 3, 2013 at 09:58 am
@ Jim Pepper -- No word yet. Most of the stories came over just fine, but the stories from earlyRead More last week seem to be stuck. All I know is they are working on it.
