Maplewood/Richmond Heights High School on Thursday, May 10 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. We will also be meeting with Superintendent Dr. Linda Henke and members of their School Board to discuss the planning process they used to set goals and redirect their school district. During the past five years, our neighboring school district has dramatically improved test scores, increased student enrollment, and renovated or replaced some of their school buildings. We expect it will be a most informative and inspiring meeting. If anyone is unable to attend on this date, please contact Board Member, Ellen Bern at 721- 1841. Olive/I-170 ramp closure -MODOT received a proposal from Millstone Bangert requesting permission to close two of the ramps at night to facilitate their work and keep things on schedule. They would like to close the two northbound ramps (both on and off) at night for 30 days. They need to do this to haul dirt from the east side of I-170 to the west side. This action would shorten the full time closures on the other ramps from 54 days to 40 days. I-64 (Hwy 40) project will disrupt transportation in this area for 2008 and 2009. The State Dept of Transportation has a $1 million grant program that is intended to help businesses during those years. The western half, between Spoede and I- 170 will close for one year, in 2008. The eastern half, between I-170 and Kingshighway will close in 2009. For information on the grant program, go to www.thenewI64.org. For your information, the I-64 Project is a $535 million freeway reconstruction contract that will completely reconstruct I-64 from west of Spoede Rd to east of Kingshighway, for a total of 10 miles. If you need specific information on the details of various street closings, call the I-64 infoline at 314- 524-9191. We have also placed a link on our home page.
