Can we first re-design and then rebuild the 270/Page intersection so the traffic doesn’t back up each night all the way to Ladue Road?!!!!!!
Then I heard they are going to extend the Page Ave Extension further into St Charles before fixing this intesection, BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!, can you say? cart before the horse.

Six lanes wide. Great. Maryland Heights can set the speed limit at 30, then sit out and write tickets all day. Thanks, Charlie!

Note the four “teams” (including those working under them). Now let’s see how much Dooley and Temporiti shake them down in order to be “selected” by next spring. My guess is that it will be a “very close” competition that will go down to the wire. I hope the feds are watching this closely. There ought to be an IMMEDIATE moratorium on Dooley raising funds from these entities.

People are so amazing. We manage to bring more jobs to the area and you STILL find something to complain about. It’s incredible that people will purposely find something to yell about with regard to a project that will improve and increase the value of the area. Before you jump to the worst-case scenario about something, try thinking outside of your own world of opinions and think about the greater picture and the good it will do for others around the area.

Common Sense proves that common sense is not so common. canwefirst, sounds to me like a lot of crying…maybe you should just suck it up and leave at a different time. You’re really considering fixing an INTERSECTION over expanding and building of a highway? And Nick, are you serious? Why don’t you folks just do everyone a favor, stop your complaining and stay off the highways. Find another route. I’m with belledec on this one. You people are the ones that always can find something negative in everything. What’s wrong with putting people to work? Are you folks the same types that cry when your secretaries don’t make your coffee the right way? Maybe the cleaning lady missed a speck of dust on your TV? Maybe the gardeners didn’t cut that one blade of grass on your lawns? Suck it up and stop crying.

1)Construction on the 270/Page interchange as well as Dorsett/270 start as soon as the Highway 40 construction is complete.

2)These new construction jobs on the 141/Page-Olive highway would have been created no matter what project was chosen. There were a lot of other highway/road projects on the list that were much more critical than this one and they ALL would have created the same jobs. Greed and Desperation tend to create bad decisions in government officials.

3) This Page/Olive extension of 141 as well as the Ladue/Olive 141 extension were chosen solely so that Chesterfield, Maryland Heights, and St. Louis County can commercially develop the 8000 acres of floodplain between I-70 and Olive. The give a lot of other reasons, like safety and relieving traffic congestion, so that everyone will buy into the project. If those were the REAL reasons they were doing this project, it would have been much higher on the MoDot priority list.

4) the retail/commercial development they want to build will in no way create new jobs or new money for the county. It will merely be taking the jobs and tax money from a different municipality and funneling them here. Then in 5 years the process will start somewhere else.

The I-270/MO-364 interchange project has already been designed and is technically already under construction. Though, you probably will not see much activity until this winter or at least until I-64 reopens. The project was delayed to avoid conflicts with the closure of I-64.

Canwefirst -

The Page/Rte 364 extension is already in progress. Check out MODOT’s site for more info on that. I know because we bid some of the landscaping for it at one of my jobs.

Thanks for really nice update that Feds allocate $20 million for Maryland express highway. It is too good. Glad to know about it. am wondering if I can share your article in the bookmarks of society.
