can you repaint the lanes on Chippewa between Gravois and Morganford? they're invisible at night and it's very confusing, people end up all over the place

I have passed it along to our maintenance team. Most likely, it will have to wait until the weather warms up. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Reference the work at the Route 364 and Route 141 bridge. It's some improvements in that area to help traffic flow smoother. Right now, they have mostly shoulder closures, but there will be ramp and lane closures later in the construction season. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Not sure if this is MODOT's or the City's responsibility, but there are a few potholes right at the westbound entrance to I-44 at Lafayette. There is also a pothole further down the entrance ramp as well.

I have asked our maintenance team to check these and see if they are on MoDOT's ROW -- if not, we'll share it with the city. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

The roundabout at 64 and Technology Drive was restriped recently but the old lines are still there and its confusing. Can you take a look?
And give a raise to whoever decided to restripe it, it was way overpowered.

I'll have the team check into it and see what they may be able to do. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Any consideration to a right turn signal for EB Watson at Laclede Station? Since Laclede Station runs northbound by itself, it would help traffic flow better and not conflict with pedestrians nor southbound.

I have shared your comment with the traffic engineer for that area -- at this point I haven't heard anything back. If we did anything, it would most likely be with other construction on the corridor. If I hear back from them, I'll share their response. Andrew Gates MoDOT Communications

Why is there no sign on 94 stating bringe is closed to old Monroe
Only a sign after you turn

by Mike b 2/3/2021 7:51:28 PM
At what intersection with 94 are you asking about -- most of 94 is pretty far from Old Monroe. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

I have a question for the county (and I haven't been visiting the chat for some time, so I apologize if this has been recently addressed):

The pavement condition of Bayless between Union and Lemay Ferry is pretty abysmal - especially the E-bound lanes. Is there any plan to resurface all (or part - I realize that's a lot of road) of it, now that the Greenway overpass project at 55 is (I assume) completed?

Thanks!

We expect work to begin next year on our Bayless Avenue improvement project, from Union east to Lemay Ferry Road. In addition to pavement replacement, the job will include the removal and replacement of a Bayless bridge east of I-55, curb and sidewalk replacement (as needed) and construction of wheelchair-accessible ramps.

When will the project at Highway N and Z in St. Charles County begin and finish?

by Mark Longhenrich 2/3/2021 8:10:41 PM
It is planned to begin in early 2022. I'm waiting to hear back from our highway department on the construction timeline. I'll update in next week's chat.

Despite the lane shift lines being (kind of) crossed out on Broadway from Walnut to Spruce, there still seems to be a lot of confusion as the lines are still visible. Some people shift and some go straight, causing plenty of honking and finger “pointing” at evening rush hour. Is there a better way to advise drivers that the shift is no longer active? Maybe paint straight line stripes?

by beau 2/3/2021 8:14:26 PM
Was watching that and observed the same - might have to amp it up with more striping to help the cause. thanks for the input.

Last week I mentioned a pothole on Ellendale not knowing it had already been taken care of. My thanks to the city street department!
There are a few potholes along the curb on Weil Ave near the Schnucks store.
Thanks!
