It’s time to voice your thoughts if you frequently travel the section of I-64 between Jefferson and Kingshighway or if you have ideas on the infrastructure that should be installed in this corridor. To discuss and get public feedback on their suggested idea for enhancing this vital route, the Missouri Department of Transportation is holding a public hearing today. The meeting will take place in an open house format at 18 Rails, City Foundry in St. Louis, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Engineers and planners on the scene will be available to respond to inquiries and gather input on possible modifications to the local transportation system. Don’t worry if you can’t attend 18 Rails; information about the concept can be found online at the Missouri Department of Transportation’s website, preferably before or after you’ve had dinner.
This public event is not a one-time occurrence; rather, it is a component of the broader Future64 research, which aims to rethink community and connectedness in tandem with local transportation. Fundamentally, the study seeks to serve as a fair platform where the opinions of a wide range of stakeholders are sought out and respected. With fairness as its compass, Future64 aims to pave the way forward, whether that means evaluating the effects on the environment or nearby communities.
In addition to the Missouri Department of Transportation’s infrastructure, future planning for the I-64 corridor calls for enhancements to other transportation networks run by a network of community partners. Information regarding the proposed bridge project over Vandeventer, whose construction is expected to begin in 2027, will be published along with updates from the Missouri Department of Transportation. When improvements are implemented, this multi-agency cooperation aims to make sure they are not only road-deep but also community-wide.
Today’s open house is your chance to have an impact on the choices made if the flow of I-64 affects your day-to-day existence. Every amount of community input helps to drive the Future64 study in the proper direction, whether that is to make your daily commute easier, lessen your environmental impact, or just guarantee the durability and safety of local infrastructure. Recall that the Missouri Department of Transportation stated that the objective is “Community. Transportation. Together,” a reminder that the roads we travel are not only routes we follow but also serve as reflections of the places we call home.
