From West Newsmagazine: A resolution approving execution of a contract for the Craig Road project was unanimously green-lit by the Creve Coeur City Council on Jan. 12.
The city will utilize federal Surface Transportation Program and Missouri Cost-Share grants to assist with the cost of partial reconstruction, asphalt resurfacing, new sidewalk construction, sidewalk and curb ramp improvements and installation of new traffic signals on Craig Road, Olde Cabin Road and Office Parkway.
The low bid of $1.9 million was accepted from Spencer Contracting Company.
“We get reimbursed from East-West Gateway federal funds,” said Kevin Mulligan, civil engineer for the Public Works Department. “You can only use those Surface Transportation Program funds on collector routes and arterials. So, basically, busier roads. That’s why the Office Parkway section to the east is not participating. So, we will not get reimbursed for those.
“Originally, we planned on splitting the outside of the circle up to various city-funded projects, but once we found out this grant was successful, we decided just to lump it into one project to kind of cut down on disruptions and to get better prices.”
Mulligan showed pictures of existing roadway surfaces in rough condition which have not been resurfaced since around 2008. Craig Road was micro-surfaced around 2013 to help preserve it, and again around 2020 to prepare it for a full asphalt resurfacing. Concrete in the sidewalk is in very poor shape with a rolled curve right next to traffic. Additionally, the sidewalk ends on Olde Cabin Road near the golf course and the area is unsafe with no stop signs.
