RESOLUTION <br /> <br />WHEREAS Bi-State/Metro has recently stated that it would not provide alternate routes <br />for traffic during the shutdown of Forest Park Parkway (Millbrook Blvd.) for the duration <br />of the proposed MetroLink Cross County construction project; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS during the shutdown severely reduced passage into and out of our University <br />City neighborhoods will become an overwhelming struggle for residents and a dangerous <br />obstacle for emergency vehicles; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS the resulting traffic jams will adversely impact our city's merchants. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the University City City Council requests <br />that St. Louis County Highways & Traffic Department, in cooperation with University <br />City Traffic staff, develop a detailed traffic rerouting plan. There are current requests <br />submitted to St. Louis County Highway & Traffic from University City that will alleviate <br />some of the expected traffic delays, and we urge high priority given to these requests <br />prior to the closure of Forest Park Parkway. <br /> <br />Adopted this 21st day of April, 2003 <br /> <br /> <br />
