Creve Coeur planning commissioners recommend FY2026–2030 capital improvement program to city council
Summary
City engineering presented the proposed FY2026–2030 Capital Improvement Program; commissioners heard that about $25 million is planned over five years with major shares for streets, sidewalks, parks and stormwater and recommended the plan to City Council for adoption.
Steve Perez, city engineering, briefed the Planning & Zoning Commission on the proposed FY2026–2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), describing project eligibility, the review schedule and funding sources. Perez said the five‑year plan totals roughly $25,000,000, with about 47% expected from sales tax and a substantial portion from grants.
Perez said streets and sidewalks historically account for the largest share of CIP spending and that park and stormwater projects will also receive sizable allocations. He listed near‑term projects including a public works garage roof (FY2026), Lake School Park improvements (multiyear), Millennium Park phases 2–3, Beaver Drive culvert work and a new sidewalk rehabilitation program estimated at about $424,000 per year.
Commissioners asked about grant success and project selection. Perez said staff pursues grants systematically and that the city’s data and application preparation contribute to its higher grant awards. A commissioner questioned why a sidewalk segment covered only west of Route 270; Perez explained that right‑of‑way ownership west of 270 belongs to MoDOT, so feasibility work will focus on connection points and on‑city construction where the city has jurisdiction.
After discussion, a commissioner moved that the commission recommend the City Council adopt the FY2026–2030 CIP as presented. The motion was seconded and recorded as recommended to City Council.
The commission’s recommendation is advisory; City Council will consider the CIP in its upcoming review and public hearing schedule.
