Several Complete Streets projects are currently underway in the St Louis area and this week saw the introduction of state legislation that may pave the way for more:
HCR 23, introduced by Rep. Sally Faith ,R-St. Charles, got a committee hearing on February 17. Many organizations testified in support of the resolution, which urges the adoption of Complete Streets policies at the local, metropolitan, regional, state, and national levels. The Missouri Bicycle & Pedestrian Federation, the American Heart Association, Great Rivers Greenway District, the Missouri Parks and Recreation Association, ParaQuad, and Jim Schultz, Mayor Pro Tem of the city of Independence gave spoken testimony bolstered by a longer list of organizations that sent along written statements of support. The Resolution is scheduled for another hearing this Thursday, February 24, giving more Missourians an opportunity to express their support.
