The City of Webster Groves Traffic Advisory Commission met on August 17, 2026, to discuss various traffic safety and infrastructure issues. Key procurement-related topics included updates on the South Elm shared use path redesign project, which is in preliminary design and expected to move into the right-of-way phase with federal funding obligations due by September 2027. The commission also received updates on the Great Rivers Greenway Shady Oak Creek Greenway project, including construction delays due to sanitary sewer structure installation, and the Shaming Road Creek Greenway design at 50% completion with community input planned. Additionally, the commission approved a motion to allocate up to $750 from the education budget for an October pedestrian safety education event, including promotional materials and refreshments. Discussions also covered parking restriction ordinance recommendations to be forwarded to the city manager and council for consideration.
