 RESOLUTION 197 COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE
 OPPOSING MISSOURI SENATE BILL 1586 AND SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED LOCAL
 ADMINISTRATION OF SOLID WASTER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS


WHEREAS, the tragic loss of life and serious injuries along Gravois Avenue have left residents,
advocates, and city leaders deeply concerned about ongoing traffic violence; and

WHEREAS, Trailnet’s 2024 Crash Report confirms that Gravois Avenue is among the most dangerous
corridors in St. Louis, with 69 crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists, resulting in eight lives lost;
and

WHEREAS, the St. Louis Coalition to Protect Cyclists & Pedestrians (CP2) has conducted extensive
community engagement - including a full-length bike ride on Gravois, the Gravois Walk Audit, a
Gravois Cleanup, neighborhood presentations, and consultation with engineers, planners, City staff, and
MODOT officials - to better understand conditions and advocate for safer streets; and

WHEREAS, the sidewalks along Gravois Avenue are in severe disrepair, failing to meet ADA
accessibility standards and limiting safe mobility for people with disabilities, older adults, families with
strollers, and all pedestrians; and

WHEREAS, residents across the Gravois corridor have shared their stories of injuries, loss, and daily
challenges posed by the corridor’s fast-moving traffic, dangerous crossings, and inadequate pedestrian and
bicycle infrastructure; and

WHEREAS, MODOT’s planned 2029 Gravois Resurfacing and Safety Improvements Project presents a once
in-a-generation opportunity to make transformative safety improvements along the entire length of Gravois
Avenue; and

Page 24 of 36
WHEREAS, although the City and MODOT have initiated several smaller safety projects, including new bike
lanes at Russell, crosswalk and signal upgrades, and medians near Sidney, Jefferson, and Grand, the majority
of the corridor will not receive substantial improvements for at least four years; and

WHEREAS, this delay leaves residents vulnerable to continued preventable harm, and the scale of
current traffic violence demands immediate, interim action to save lives before the larger 2029 project
begins; and

WHEREAS, CP2 has identified multiple locations where quick-build, low-cost, temporary traffic-calming
tools such as flex-post medians, water-filled barriers, and centerline hardening, could be rapidly deployed to
significantly increase safety while informing permanent design decisions. These locations are at the
intersections of Gravois and Potomac, Hydraulic and Spring, Louisiana, Oregon, Delor/Morganford, and
Hampton/Germania; and

WHEREAS, quick build safety infrastructure can be installed rapidly and at low cost, which allows the
City and MODOT to address urgent danger without waiting years for a full capital reconstruction; and

WHEREAS, quick build elements can be adjusted, expanded, or removed as needed, which allows the City
and MODOT to test treatments, gather safety data, and refine design decisions prior to the 2029 project; and

WHEREAS, quick build interventions have been shown to reduce speeding, shorten crossing
distances, improve driver sight lines, and lower the risk and severity of crashes for all users; and

WHEREAS, quick build projects increase visibility and trust in the public process by demonstrating
immediate progress, building momentum for the long-term redesign, and reinforcing that residents’ safety
concerns are heard; and

WHEREAS, quick build infrastructure will be used to inspire and inform permanent, durable designs in
the 2029 reconstruction plan; and

WHEREAS, deploying quick build infrastructure in historically disinvested neighborhoods such as those
along the Gravois corridor strengthens equity by delivering safety benefits without requiring residents to wait
years for long-term capital work; and

WHEREAS, reducing the speed limit along the Gravois corridor to a uniform 25 miles per hour would calm
traffic, reduce the severity of crashes, and unlock a broader range of safety and design options for engineers;
and

WHEREAS, meaningful community participation is essential to the success of the 2029 Gravois Project,
and incorporating the lived experiences of cyclists, pedestrians, transit users, and corridor residents early in
the design process will lead to more effective, context-sensitive, and widely supported outcomes.

NOW THEREFORE IT BE RESOLVED, that the Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis affirms its
support for the City and MODOT to coordinate on implementing quick build safety infrastructure along
Gravois Avenue, for the City to deliver sidewalk repairs to Gravois prior to repaving in 2029, and for the City
to lower the speed limit on Gravois to 25 miles per hour.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the sponsoring Members of the Board of Aldermen affirm their
commitment to support these interim improvements with Ward Capital funds, as appropriate and
available, ahead of the 2029 project.

 RESOLUTION NUMBER 266
 OPPOSING MISSOURI SENATE BILL 1586 AND SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED LOCAL
 ADMINISTRATION OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis has long supported policies and programs that reduce landfill waste, promote
recycling, and create sustainable jobs that improve the environmental health and quality of life of its residents;
and

WHEREAS, Missouri currently administers solid waste reduction, recycling, reuse, and composting initiatives
through 20 regional Solid Waste Management Districts that foster collaboration among cities, counties,
nonprofits, and businesses to address waste management challenges at the local level; and

WHEREAS, these districts administer grants that support waste diversion programs, recycling infrastructure,
public education, and community-based environmental initiatives; and

WHEREAS, for example, in fiscal year 2025, Solid Waste Districts put $5,726,359 back into the local
community through grant awards for waste reduction projects; and

WHEREAS, Missouri Senate Bill 1586 proposes to dissolve the State's Solid Waste Management Districts
starting on August 28, 2026 and transfer their responsibilities and resources to the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources; and

Page 26 of 36
WHEREAS, the elimination of local district governance would remove the ability of local communities to
directly participate in decisions regarding recycling and waste reduction programs that affect their
neighborhoods; and

WHEREAS, the current regional district system has been successful in supporting effective waste diversion
and environmental programs, including initiatives led by local nonprofit partners such as Earthday365, which in
2025 alone diverted approximately 13.7 million pounds of waste from landfills, as well as programs led by the
Green Dining Alliance that assist restaurants in reducing food waste; and

WHEREAS, dissolving these districts would pose a risk to the grants and resources that support local
recycling, reuse, repair, and composting initiatives, as well as the local green jobs and community partnerships
that depend on this funding; and

WHEREAS, the landfill “tipping fees” generated by waste disposal in the St. Louis region are intended to
support waste diversion and environmental improvements within the communities that generate those funds,
and centralizing these revenues under state control could divert resources away from the successful local
programs that currently rely on them; and

WHEREAS, effective waste management policies benefit from local knowledge, community engagement, and
regional coordination, and preserving local oversight allows communities to design programs that respond to
their specific environmental challenges and priorities, rather than relying on centralized statewide decision-
making.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by this Honorable Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis that
we hereby express our opposition to Missouri Senate Bill 1586 and any legislation that would dissolve
Missouri’s Solid Waste Management Districts or remove local oversight of waste reduction and recycling
programs and that the Board of Aldermen urges the Missouri General Assembly to preserve the existing district-
based framework for waste diversion and recycling and to work collaboratively with local governments,
regional districts, and community organizations to strengthen Missouri’s waste reduction infrastructure, not
dismantle it. We further direct the Clerk of this Board of Aldermen to spread a copy of this Resolution across
the minutes of these proceedings and to prepare a commemorative copy of this resolution to the end that it may
be presented by the Sponsor and transmitted to members of the Missouri Senate Committee on Agriculture,
Food Production and Outdoor Resources and to others as she sees fit.
