The MoDOT laid out what it called a “paradigm shift” in its approach to planning, designing, and building major streets in its Blueprint for Arterials. The new approach emphasizes public engagement, flexibility, and community context

I would rather them be focused on finishing I-70, I-55, 64/40 widening in St. Charles County, resurfacing roads and cleaning up the garbage along the freeways.

I'd rather them abandon highway widening altogether. Even if it's half-hearted (as I assume any MoDOT gestures towards walkability to be), this at least potentially makes the city better, more highways will only suck budget dollars while creating a worse environment.

Yeah let's make some highways narrower, starting with I-44. Widening highways has never worked to reduce congestion.

The garbage and lack of landscaping / mowing on all of our interstates is brutal.
