Summary

The council discussed a supplemental engineering agreement to extend MoDOT approval for the East Pine Street pedestrian crosswalk to Sept. 1, 2026 due to right-of-way and environmental-clearance delays; the amendment includes no funding changes and was moved to the May 18 voting session.

Assistant City Manager Lori Phelps told the council that the original engineering contract required MoDOT approval by March 1 but that right-of-way negotiations and environmental clearance have delayed that approval. Staff proposed supplemental agreement number 1 to extend MoDOT approval to September 1, 2026; no contract dollars would change.

A council member moved the item to the May 18 voting session and the motion carried. No funding was added or changed at the May 4 workshop; the amendment only extends the approval timeline to accommodate MoDOT processes.
