senior medical transportation As an update on issues, we are working with the County to begin recruiting volunteers as drivers for CORP (County Older Residents Program). The first step was a press release and a front-page CityScape article. Ms. Eastman will coordinate directly with the local churches, synagogues and community groups to encourage citizens to volunteer for this most important service. If you have suggestions for contacts or any interested, individuals have them contact County 615-7430 Coordinator Linda Willis at . Ms. Eastman has also continued to work on the congregated housing issue and located a transportation service at St. Mary’s, which specifically transports individuals to their hospital, lab and physician facilities. St. Mary’s regularly transports seniors from Crown Center to it facilities and will continue to provide the service at no charge. We are also securing a commitment from CORP that it will accommodate seniors who are currently receiving service from the Senior Service Board. We have initially identified 17 seniors who will be “grandfathered”. Their names are listed in the attached letter. The Senior Service Board President has requested that the City be named as an additional insured on the Senior Service Board's motor vehicle policy. Further, University City has requested that the Senior Service Board not use University City's logo in its operations, including on envelopes and letterhead because it is a separate legal entity. Lastly, the Senior Service Board President confirmed that no uninsured vehicles have been or will be used in Senior Service Board operations. 64 traffic mitigation The County’s latest list of I- proposals is attached. We are following up on some areas of concern including the striping of Midland to four lanes. The County has indicated it is not their intent to stripe the length of Midland, only from Olive to Canton. However, upon staff investigation that would leave three properties without parking as well as complicating trash removal. I have included our response and recommendations for additional and improved pedestrian crosswalks. Olive I-170 intersection bridge The demolition is scheduled for Saturday, June 17, requiring Olive Blvd. to be closed June 16 at 10:00 AM until Monday, June 18 at 5:00 AM. There will be no access from westbound Olive onto northbound I-170, and no access from northbound I-170 to eastbound Olive during the closure times. General public traveling on Olive will be able to access the businesses west of Woodson/McKnight intersection but they will not be able to continue through to the Olivette side. This request is to keep the project on schedule. They prefer to affect the general public one week-end, versus daily night closures. Students interested in either learning or improving their skills in such athletic activities as basketball, baseball, track, field hockey, soccer, tennis, pom-poms, cheerleading, University City High School’s water polo or wrestling should consider enrolling in Sports Camp . The one-week camp is open to University City students who have completed fourth through seventh grades. Sessions will be held June 11-15 beginning at 9:00 AM and ending at 4:45 PM. All sessions will be taught and supervised by University City High School athletic coaches and players. Fees range from $20 for one session to $80 to participate in all day camp. A non-refundable registration fee of $5 per camper is also required. For more information or to register contact Nancy Mozier, evenings only at 314-721-7554 or via email at nancymozier@sbcglobal.net.
