Session 1657, Minutes January 8, 1996 Page 3 had gone into its formulation. She felt all involved should be proud of the Plan. She noted the first paragraph discussed River Des Peres improvements in this area and money committed by MSD, and she wished to know how this fit into the overall River Des Peres project, and also what the City's financial responsibility is. Mr. Ollendorff said the City has no responsibility for this portion; MSD has agreed to remove this section, which is not eligible for Corps of Engineer funding, from the overall project. Mrs. Schuman emphasized the need to keep up the activities that worked well, i.e., concentrated housing code enforcement efforts and environmental inspections. She noted this would be valuable in other neighborhoods as well, before problems grow nearly unmanageable. She then referred to a detailed traffic safety analysis budgeted for the Darstdale and Canton neighborhoods and asked what it entailed. Mr. Ollendorffsaid it entirely depends on the 82nd Blvd. bridge; if it is closed, a major study must be undertaken to see what can be done with rerouted traffic. If not closed, it will be a minor study of individual local problems. Mrs. Schuman referred to the section on youth programs and the need for expanded recreation opportunities, noting that leaders in these neighbor- hoods have emphasized that such programs are needed, and in some cases have organized programs themselves. She was pleased that staff will pursue this, and she does not believe that residents give such programs a low priority. Noting that it is an unfinished document, Mr. Schoomer moved approval. Mr. Wagner seconded the motion, and all voted Aye.
