The City of Webster Groves is sharing the results of an online survey about the South Elm roadway resurfacing project and shared-use path.
The project is planned for the 2027 construction season between Glendale and Watson Road. Residents were asked about the placement of the multi-use trail in relation to the roadway.
The survey was conducted from Friday, May 15, to Wednesday, May 27, with publication via the city’s website, social media platforms and external newsletter.
The city received 161 responses, including participation from 21 residents who live directly off South Elm and 92 residents who live in the immediate area in South Webster.
Approximately 63 percent preferred removing west-side parking and constructing the shared-use path within the existing roadway footprint, as opposed to adjacent right of way.
Support for this option was consistent across all respondent groups, including those who live on South Elm.
Residents also had an opportunity to submit open-ended comments with the survey. Generally, these comments focused on minimizing impacts to private property along with desired safety improvements and traffic concerns.
