Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee

The City of St. Louis Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee met on November 12, 2026, according to the transcript (the metadata lists November 13). The committee recommended due passage of Board Bill 17, closing Blas Avenue to keep commercial truck traffic from disturbing nearby residents, and Board Bill 72, closing part of Maffitt Street amid tornado-related damage, vacant homes, and speeding concerns. No public comments were received on these bills.

The committee also recommended due passage of Board Bill 110, an ordinance authorizing the City to accept federal reimbursement for tornado-damaged infrastructure repairs already completed. A city recovery official said about 550 traffic signals, streetlights, and signs were replaced at a total cost of approximately $3.4 million; the transcript cites roughly $1.9 million from FEMA and about $1.4–$1.5 million from the Federal Highway Administration, to be paid through MoDOT. No new procurement or contract award was identified. The committee approved the prior meeting minutes and adjourned.
