Crestwood #2 - on Watson, in front of Walgreen's (9807 Watson), there's a concrete street light pole that's been down for a while that needs to be replaced. Thanks!

SB I-270, south of Ladue Road. This must be an ancient sign, since it gives the distances to US 40-61, Manchester Rd and Dougherty Ferry Rd, but doesn't include I-64 (unlike the one further north)!

I am very pleased to see the Olive and Lindbergh interchange open. The new ramps and lights are a great addition. While I know that this was not a MoDOT project, I was hoping that the existing asphalt on either side of the bridge over Lindbergh would be rehabbed. It is pretty trashed, with a continuous line of potholes in the lefthand eastbound lane and a huge cluster in the westbound lane where the lanes shift. This section was not resurfaced when MoDOT did Olive just to the west a few years ago, and the last repairs to this area were when you put down a tar and gravel overlay that mostly just made a mess. Are there any plans to resurface the old asphalt in the area? At a minimum, you need to be ready for urgent emergency repairs this winter because the section with massive pothole is just going to blow apart, like it did last winter during construction. The lane position in the new layout now has tires driving over what used to be paving seams between lane, and this is where there continuous potholes. This section of roadway is really bad and stands out given everything else in the area is new.

When going north bound on 141 from Centurion thru No Highway Drive - the traffic lights don’t let you flow through - they generally turn red at each light - could you have someone take a look - this is around 6:45 - 7:15 when I am there - thanks

I have seen several potholes recently:

Just past the end of the ramp from SSR N to I-64 eastbound, there are multiple holes in the right-hand lane of I-64.

I-64 westbound, around the 9-10 mile markers, in the far left lane.

I-64 westbound, just before the Winghaven exit in the right lane.

Thanks!

Can you please update on the status of the SSR-N widening between I-64 and Hwy Z? Is this imminent? Will there be an additional traffic light placed on N either at Welsh or Ridgeway/Red Baron? Ridgway/Red Baron has a LOT of traffic turning onto N as they're the main entrances to two large subdivisions.

The pedestrian warning lights at Olive and I-170 are none functional. When pressing the switch to activate nothing happens. This is particularly dangerous as right turning cars are not slowing down even with pedestrians in the area . What is the plan to get the signals working or other ways to protect pedestrians crossing. With commercial development very active in the area, this is becoming more of a problem

I know that this is a never ending and possibly losing battle due to litterbugs and thoughtless individuals, but most of the grates adjacent to the fast lane on eastbound I-44 between Grand and Lafayette (at least) are either partially or entirely covered with litter and other debris. Can the shoulders be swept again before the next torrential rain storm hits? Thanks for all you collectively do!

The time on the stop lights on 141 is in the evening

When will repairs to the Pritchard Farm bridge south of Maryland Heights Expressway be complete? It was reported that the recent rain and floods had damaged the bridge, and it’s still closed. I believe this is St Louis County maintenance responsibility

On the Watson at Brookview Drive/Watson Industrial Park signal issue, is there any way to shorten or eliminate the secondary cycles until the equipment can be replaced? Maybe eliminate the left-turn phases and extend the thru-traffic phases? Currently, (the main) traffic on Watson sits through a lot of dead time.

For the city: when resurfacing streets with parking lanes, has grinding/repaving just the traffic ones ever been considered?

Some potential benefits would (seem to) be saving time and materials, along with less stress on sewer laterals (which always seem to break after road work - I suspect the heavy grinder/roller vehicles play a role). The need for parking lanes to be in silky-smooth condition seems dubious.

The older/lighter-color pavement along the curbs may not be as visually pleasing as a solid black street, but it might also make a difference in how much "heat island" absorption occurrs - anything helps!

Along those lines, I'd like to nominate Lindenwood Avenue/W of Jamieson as a "pilot project": it carries a lot of traffic/is in pretty poor shape. Thanks for the forum!

With the updates to the Jefferson/I-64 intersection, nighttime traffic cannot easily exit and merge like it used to be able to do. Are the lanes markings at Jefferson/Scott pretty well finalized? I've found myself just cutting over at Hamptom from 64 to 44 to avoid that whole area.

On Saturday morning I was crossing the Fee Fee and Olive intersection on foot. The cross walk button device that beeps and talks to you had been ripped off the stop light pole in the northwest corner of the intersection. The pole is on the island that sits between the two lanes of southbound Fee Fee, where one turns right and the other turns left. If it hasn't been repaired yet, can you send someone out to look at it? The device is still there but is resting on the concrete base connected by wires coming out of a hole in the pole.

There is a huge pot hole west bound I70 between the airport and270 I had a flat tire yesterday and had to buy a new tire Is this going to be fixed and how do I submit claim?

Is there any ongoing study of the problem pavement issues on EB 44 between Kingshighway and Grand? It’s terrible now and I only imagine it degrading rapidly with the heavy tractor trailer traffic.

South bound and north bound highway 55 needs to be cleaned up in the construction zone. There is trash all over. It is safety hazard. Also there are pot holes and then they ran over it kicks up rocks and causing windshield damage.

There's a big pothole on highway 70 going west at the exit to the airport. Its in the right lane, not an exit lane, at exit 238a. Theyve fixed it before but it keeps coming back.

Thanks for your responses!
