Good stuff. What does it look like per $ of economic activity?dbInSouthCity wrote:One thing I've always wondered is where MoDOT spends its $ thats allocated to the st.louis district. (It's about 35% of its total statewide construction budget). I wasn't sure what I would find but it was a lot, basically went back and looked at their previous STIPs from 2004-2014 and for the future from 2015-2019 stip, commission mintues where they awarded projects, bid-x website ect . And here are the results
Aren't they supposed to be broke or something? "We're worried about paying for a new roof to replace the leaky one, but let's go ahead an build an addition."moorlander wrote:Yay! More lanes for Chesterfield, Wildwood, and St. Chuck commuters.
Thanks Mil.
This project and every others that is planned from 07-01-2015 to 06-30-2016 was added to the program years ago. If you look at the construction plan starting 6/30/16 and on, it's pretty bare bonesajwillikers wrote:Aren't they supposed to be broke or something?

Perfectly logical explanation that the project was already budgeted for, but using scare tactics to gin up support that they won't have enough revenue and going through with a project is more of a cost of credibility than a dollar figure.dbInSouthCity wrote:This project and every others that is planned from 07-01-2015 to 06-30-2016 was added to the program years ago.

One thing that's remind constant from the Commission that runs MoDOT (3 republicans and 3 democrats) is that if the project is programmed and on the books it's their commitment to Missourians that it will get done. We here may not be happy with some of MoDOT decisions and work but I don't know any other gov agency with 83% approval and that 90% of Missourians trustajwillikers wrote:Perfectly logical explanation that the project was already budgeted for, but using scare tactics to gin up support that they won't have enough revenue and going through with a project is more of a cost of credibility than a dollar figure.dbInSouthCity wrote:This project and every others that is planned from 07-01-2015 to 06-30-2016 was added to the program years ago.
