Should There Be More Traffic Lights in O'Fallon?

One blogger thinks there needs to be more traffic signals along the South Outer 364 service road in O'Fallon. What do you think? Where should there be more or less traffic lights?

One O'Fallon resident's quest to see a traffic signal installed on the South Outer 364 road is sparking conversation among O'Fallon Patch readers about whether city officials need to take notice.  "Could someone please look into how a stoplight can be installed at the entrance to the Villages at Dardenne?" Patch blogger John Patrick Malone wrote in a post on O'Fallon Patch. "There have been 3 bad accidents at this intersectction in just the last 2 months and those are just the ones I am aware of.  Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed before long, and I hope it is not me or better yet anyone." Malone's blog post got the attention of more than a dozen other O'Fallon residents. Here's what they had to say about the issue: Tracy …

O'Fallon Chips in for Route 364 Extension

O'Fallon will cough up more than $2 million to help fund the final phase of the Route 364 extension project on the condition that officials build interchanges along the highway at Highway K and Bryan Road.

The City of O'Fallon has agreed to put up $2.25 million to help cover additional costs for extending Route 364, based on the state committing to build interchanges or bridges at Highway K and Bryan Road, the Suburban Journals reports. Route 364—or the Page Avenue extension—now connects Maryland Heights to St. Charles County but will ultimately offer motorists an alternate route from Interstate 270 in Maryland Heights to Highway 40 near O'Fallon. According to the report, Steve Bender, O'Fallon's public works director, said it is not certain enough money would be available for interchanges at Highway K and Bryan Road.  From the report:  The agreement approved by the council states “MoDOT must commit to providing a grade-separated …

What in the world happened? Did you open it too early??? The traffic jam was ridiculous. It wasn't as bad when the new highway wasn't "open". Why would you close down 3 lanes on opening day? Very disappointing and a big waste of commuters time and fuel.   more ›
