Dardenne Prairie updates: street investments, postponed events and a mayoral transition
Summary
City staff updated the board that the Easter egg hunt was delayed, the clean-stream event canceled, Stump Road remains incomplete with a punch-list review scheduled, and a long-serving Alderman announced a transition to mayor amid recognition of nearly $10 million invested in streets over four years.
City staff told the Dardenne Prairie board on April 16 that several community events and public-works items are in flux and highlighted civic achievements and personnel changes.
Staff announced the Easter egg hunt originally scheduled for the weekend would be delayed to April 26 because of a severe-weather forecast and that the planned clean-stream event tied to the hunt was canceled and has not been rescheduled. The city will post updates on its website.
Public-works updates focused on Stump Road, which staff said is not complete and is currently in an unfinished condition. The next steps include straight edging to identify bumps followed by diamond grinding to smooth the surface. A punch-list review meeting was scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. to review remaining items, with city engineering and public-works staff present.
During recognition and announcements, one Alderman said this would be his last meeting before transitioning to mayor and thanked staff and colleagues. The same speaker summarized infrastructure work over his tenure, saying the city had put close to $10,000,000 into street improvements over four years and credited passage of Proposition T, a half-cent transportation tax, as central to those efforts.
What happens next: Staff will proceed with the scheduled punch-list review and update the public on roadwork timing; the community event calendar will be updated with the new Easter egg hunt date.
