Safe Streets For All Taskforce 05/11/2026

The City of Webster Groves Safe Streets For All Taskforce held a meeting on May 11, 2026, to discuss progress on their comprehensive safety action plan and upcoming demonstration projects aimed at improving roadway safety. Key procurement-related topics included updates on environmental review approvals necessary to proceed with project design and purchasing, as well as a grant amendment to update fund distribution and obligation for the next phase of funding. The taskforce reported a current federal grant of approximately $2.7 million with a 20% city match, and they are preparing an application for additional implementation funding due later in May. Planned expenditures include citywide speed studies, radar speed feedback signs, flashing stop signs, and rapid flashing beacons. The group also discussed community outreach efforts, sidewalk survey results, and coordination with neighboring jurisdictions for safety improvements on roads outside city control. No formal votes were recorded, but action items include submitting the grant application and continuing public communication about upcoming demonstration projects.
