Crossroads Business District 03/18/2026

The City of Webster Groves held a meeting on March 18, 2026, primarily focused on updates regarding the Crossroads Business District infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the design phase progress of a roadway improvement project, with plans to bid in the fall and construction likely starting in spring 2026. Property acquisitions and utility coordination were nearing completion, and final design drawings were expected soon for council approval. The project includes sidewalk, curb, and pavement work, with asphalt resurfacing anticipated in 2027 due to seasonal constraints. The meeting also addressed access and ADA compliance challenges for certain business properties, potential easement acquisitions for a multi-use path project, and upcoming construction impacts on traffic flow. Budget allocations for lighting improvements and infrastructure repairs were mentioned, along with coordination of federal and local funding sources. No formal votes on contracts or expenditures were recorded, but several action items were identified for follow-up, including final plan approvals and coordination with contractors and property owners.
