You may also click the "Comment" icon in the left column of the main page to share your thoughts.

Does the Task Force have a support staff?
Yes. The Department of Highways and Traffic, under the leadership of Director Garry W. Earls, is providing substantial staff and technical support in the form of traffic analysis and analysis of potential cost and benefit impacts of possible traffic management options. East-West Gateway is assisting county staff in coordinating technical support.

Is the Task Force interacting with St. Louis County communities most affected by the improvement project?
Yes, with an Administrative Management Oversight Committee (AMOC) consisting of administrative or professional staff members from the following communities: Brentwood, Clayton, Frontenac, Ladue, Richmond Heights and Westwood. The AMOC meets regularly with Highways and Traffic technical and support staffers to explore the benefits and weaknesses of all traffic management options that may be undertaken as a result of MoDOT's project. St. Louis County's Task Force will closely consider all AMOC concerns and suggestions before drafting its final position paper. St. Louis County will work closely with MoDOT throughout this process. County Executive Dooley ultimately will share his position paper with the state. We expect to work with the City of St. Louis through the East West Gateway Coordinating Council to coordinate our efforts with theirs.
