"COME GROW WITH US"
The month of October was a successful month for the City
of St. Robert and our community. We have been working diligently
for over 18 months on the development of a Pedestrian Bridge
to span Interstate 44 for the safety of the public. That hard
work has paid off with the City being awarded a $500,000.00
Transportation Enhancement Grant to support those construction
efforts. On October 14th our Public Works Director presented
the City's grant proposal before the Missouri Department of
Transportation, District 9 Headquarters and the Meremac Regional
Planning Commission Transportation Advisory Committee in which
the City's proposal finished as the top presentation that
helped the City garner the grant award. The bridge will be
constructed adjacent to the western Missouri Avenue overpass
at I-44, with a construction completion date of September
12, 2012. This important capital improvement will provide
the means for our citizens to safely cross Interstate 44 from
north to south, and interconnect to the existing pedestrian
walking trails in the City. This will unquestionably provide
greater access to the commercial areas and the Municipal Park
amenities that will be open in 2011.
We have been notified that the rates we are charged for electrical
power to the City will not go up for 2011, and early projections
are that natural gas rates may stay the same as well. Public
improvements that have been completed this year include the
new asphalt overlays on Peggy Ave., Debra Ave., Vaughn Cir,
Vaughn Ct., Lee Dr., and work will be completed in the next
45 days on the complete rehabilitation and widening of J.H.
Williamson Dr that provides access to the Municipal Park.
Numerous improvements to waterline and sanitary sewer collection
infrastructure have been completed to update the aged systems
that are in various areas of the City.
The water tower adjacent to Old Route 66 on the west end
of the City is not a new tower, but the water tower we have
had maintenance performed on. To show our support for our
Waynesville Tigers and demonstrate our community spirit, we
have had the Well #3 tower off of Old Route 66 painted in
the Waynesville Tigers school colors. Finishing touches will
be completed around the first week of November.
Please remember Veterans Day on November 11th
and show your gratitude towards our military veteran's at
the Veteran's Day parade which will be held in Waynesville
this year. Our appreciation for our military veterans who
have defended our great Nation is a debt of honor we bestow
on those heroes. Please thank our veterans, and remember those
who are currently defending us at this very time across the
world and keep each every one of our military service members
in your thoughts and prayers.
