Suggestion #4. Traffic Commission voted unanimously to deny the submittal of this request to St. Louis County. Mr. Poelker changed the request to paint white broken lines only on the right lane turning right onto Big Bend.

Parking Restriction on North and South Rd from Delmar Blvd to Gannon Ave. To improve traffic flow on the St.Louis County's secondary road network in light of the closure of 1- 64/40, St. Louis County implemented No Parking restrictions on both sides of North and South Rd from Delmar Blvd to Gannon Ave between the hours of 7a.m. and 9a.m. and between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., Monday thru Friday.
