Summary
City staff reported on community events, parks improvements, and local development: Aldi project on track for early 2025, EZ Storage tenant build-outs underway, Great Heart Brewing equipment arrived, and parks staff created an ADA-accessible stepped path at 5 Oaks to formalize a desire path.
At the Sept. 24 Olivette City Council meeting, city staff summarized recent development projects, parks improvements and upcoming community events.
City Manager (name appears with inconsistent spellings in the transcript) highlighted events including "Coffee with the Mayor" (Oct. 9), the Olivette Citywide yard sale (Oct. 19–20) and a city cleanup/shredding/electronics recycling event (Oct. 21). Staff said the police department will host a prescription drug take‑back on Oct. 26 and will accept medical equipment donations in partnership with a local business, St. Louis Help.
Planning staff reported that the Aldi store under construction at Olive and Price appears on track for an early 2025 opening. The EZ Storage project has completed exterior work and a tenant (Domo) will finish interior buildout later this year. Great Heart Brewing's equipment had arrived and staff will work with the business on occupancy permitting. Parks staff described acceptance of a 'desire path' at 5 Oaks and construction of an ADA‑accessible stepped route to reduce erosion and formalize the connection.
No formal council action was required on these items during the meeting; the information updates were provided for council and public awareness.
