Last week, one of our participants asked about MoDOT's high priority unfunded needs list. Here's a more updated list of those needs: https://www.modot.org/media/23411 . Andrew Gates, MoDOT communications -

We have a project coming on Lindbergh between Big Bend and Barracksview, starting next year. This area is within that project, and we are making some adjustments to the medians along that stretch of Lindbergh to make the left turn to Rusty Road a little longer You can see details here: Lindbergh at St Johns Church Road.

I've noticed white marks on several areas of distressed pavement lately, most noticeably on Chippewa s of Hampton. Does this mean we might see some of the $500 million used to repair some of our streets or is this just another plan to keep us guessing if it actually will happen? Also, haven't seen any such marks on Jamieson south of Chippewa which is akin to a washboard surface.

MoDOT maintains the driving surface of Chippewa (Missouri Route 366). This is in preparation for a scheduled resurfacing project later this year -- this was locating areas where the pavement needed repairs before the new surface is put on MoDOT does not maintain Jamieson.

The I-44 Kingshighway to Grand Avenue job has to be one of the lowest quality projects in our area. The pavement at the bridges and new concrete pavement are extremely rough. Diamond grinding has not helped and I’m certain the pavement is out of specifications. What is MODOT doing to prevent unqualified contractors from bidding this type of projects?
-
Before any project is awarded, the department ensures that the contractors meet the requirements for the project. In addition, through the project, the department has an extensive quality assurance and quality control process to ensure that the materials and craftsmanship meets applicable standards. If they don't for some reason, the department works with the contractor to address those issues before the department accepts the project for maintenance. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Thanks for hosting these chats. This is for the City, and while I know that the CSB is the preferred venue to report potholes, I find this much faster. At any rate, there is a large, deep pothole on eastbound Loughborough right before S. Grand. There is also a pothole on northbound Hampton next to the Hampton Gardens apartments and across from the Mobil station. Thanks!

Thanks for participating in the chat. When I receive reports of issues (here or other) not entered into the Citizen's Service Bureau (CSB), I still create a service request in CSB so that the issue can be documented, automatically routed to the person responsible for the work being performed, and ultimately tracked for resolution.stlouis-mo.govGuidelines for submitting complaints and requests for service. -

Much of this stretch of McKnight is maintained by both Ladue and Brentwood. Ladue maintains the southbound lanes, and Brentwood the northbound lanes. However, we maintain McKnight from Litzsinger south to Manchester. I'll have our operations group investigate our segment. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation -
A few months ago I commented here regarding a used car dealer at 7960 Page Ave. Premium Motors, LLC.
During the day they put the used cars on the public sidewalk along Page Ave.
A pedestrian or a wheelchair would need to go into the street to get around those cars. I’ve emailed North County Police Cooperative but no reply. Are they allowed to put the cars on a public sidewalk?
I’m concerned someone may get hurt one day. Appreciate your thoughts. -

This question is for MoDOT. Yesterday when traveling on eastbound I-44 just past Grey Summit, there was a large trash-strewn area on the side of the highway, including several tires. I am not sure if someone driving by dumped all of that, or if it originated from the properties adjacent to the highway. In any event, I think that it might be too much for a volunteer cleanup crew to handle. Can someone check this out? Thanks for all that you guys do!

In the greater St. Louis area, you can go here: St. Louis Construction by area | Missouri Department of Transportation (modot.org) and look at the specific area for planned construction for the next couple of years. Statewide, you can look on this: Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) | Missouri Department of Transportation (modot.org) for projects planned for the next several years.
