What in the world was wrong with anything she wrote? She nailed all of the major problems going on right now.
Apparently nothing. Nothing at all.

Her and Ogilvie seem like great counterbalances to the old archetype. Who are the similar people in the northern districts?

Sharon Tyus, maybe. If you take the time to get to know her and hear what she has to say. And Terry Kennedy. Both people with strong convictions and a lot of brains.

Ald Davis introduced a $50M, no tax increase general obligation bond issue BB 145 to go on the Apr 2022 ballot

Aren't we rolling in dough?

https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/c ... BBId=13941

(1) resurfacing arterial streets and bridges, (2) design and construction of a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) a new state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center combining Police, Fire, EMS, CEMA, and Citizen Service Bureau (3) design and construction of pedestrian and bicycle transportation facilities, (4) maintaining the safety and security of the jails and improving public safety (5) providing match share funds, where applicable and necessary, to utilize funds made available under the American Recuse Plan Act of 2021 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 in furtherance of any of the cited projects herein and, (6) replacing, improving, renovating and maintaining buildings, bridges, and equipment of the City of St. Louis including neighborhood recreation centers and fire houses, and (7) for expenses associated with the issuance of the bonds. The City's backlog of unmet infrastructure needs greatly exceed the amount of federal assistance expected by the City in the near future. These funds will enhance the City's ability to provide matching grant funds to apply for competitive grants and offer the opportunity to begin design work in advance of future federal assistance and secure materials in an effort to mitigate project delays due to supply chain issues. Collapse

Some of the federal money coming needs a match and you cannot match federal money with other federal money. So while we may have federal money that’s unrestricted in what we can spend it on, we cannot spend it to get more federal money

^ Thanks Quincunx,  did a very very quick scan of doc posted but didn't see anything that fundamentally changes the I64 intersections whether it be Grand and or the Market/FPP mess.
