Council representative reports budget approval, shared‑use path and long culvert closure on Elm
Summary
A council representative said the June budget was approved, council approved a revised South Elm shared‑use path (Glendale to Watson), bonds for Destination WG sold competitively, and Elm at Kirkham will be closed for about five months for culvert replacement to improve safety and flood mitigation.
A council representative (speaker 10) updated the BDC/Chamber on recent council actions and infrastructure projects. The speaker said the mid‑June city budget was approved and that the council had approved a revised South Elm shared‑use path from Glendale to Watson.
The representative also said the city sold the last tranche of bonds for a Destination Webster Groves project at a favorable rate after a competitive sale, and that Elm at Kirkham would be closed for about five months while crews replace a culvert to improve stability and flood mitigation. The speaker described additional summer roadwork and concrete placements on South Elm and Murdoch as part of routine seasonal projects.
Members asked follow‑up budget questions and were told staff would confirm specific line‑item allocations (the transcript did not record a detailed breakdown). The council representative said further details would be communicated as construction schedules firm up.
