# Traffic Advisory Commission 10/19/2026

The City of Webster Groves Traffic Advisory Commission met on October 19, 2026, for an educational presentation on traffic calming and the city’s safer-streets efforts. A volunteer transportation engineer reviewed design strategies to reduce vehicle speeds or volumes—including roundabouts, speed humps and cushions, curb extensions, median islands, road diets, and routing restrictions—and discussed safety, accessibility, emergency-vehicle access, maintenance, and funding considerations. The city has received a sizable Federal Highway Administration grant to test safer-street principles through demonstration projects; no grant amount was stated.

The discussion referenced planned improvements in the Crossroads area, including curb bulbs, medians, and road-diet striping, with construction expected to begin in 2027. A future MoDOT bridge rebuild was discussed as a factor in coordinating roadway design, with work anticipated around 2029–2030. Commissioners and attendees discussed how residents can submit street concerns through the city’s Fix It form and how feedback and safety plans may guide future projects. No contract awards, vendor selections, procurement votes, or spending approvals were identified.
