Dan Galvin and Linda Wilson: yes. Lindell and Manchester will have better timed lights as will Olive and Page.

Chris Stevenson: It says online, that the Jefferson Bridge construction from Highway 64/40 to Choteau is slated to be completed this December. Is this still on schedule? With the second phase of 64 being shut down soon and all the bridges going with it Jefferson needs to open.
Dan Galvin and Linda Wilson: Yes. The City will have the Jefferson bridge open sometime in December.

chris g: Will the intersection of Hanley and Eager Roads be fixed as proposed during the 2009 shutdown or was that plan approved? Thanks
Dan Galvin and Linda Wilson: Yes. The Hanley and Eager intersection will be improved. The County is contributing additional money to add to our contract the additional work at that intersection.

Chris: When will the Spoede overpass be reopened?
Dan Galvin and Linda Wilson: It reopened yesterday.

Jennie: This question is about congestion on Page at Woodson. Because of the highway closed there is more traffic on Page going East and the stop light getting onto Page from either side of Woodson only lets 4 cars through during rush hour. Are there any plans on changing the timing of the stop light now that the second part of Hwy 64 is closing?
Dan Galvin and Linda Wilson: I will pass this on to the engineers. The signals on Page are timed to favor Page. It may take longer to get on for a side street, but once you are on Page you should move through more lights without stopping. That is the tradeoff and balance we have to make with every side street. I will see what they can do. They are making timing adjustments with the east half closure of I-64 and will be actively monitoring Page and all the other roads after the switch to make adjustments based on how traffic shifts arounds.
