If you're a frequent traveler of Route D, AKA Dr. Martin Luther King Drive/Page Boulevard, in St. Louis, you might want to carve out some time on your calendar today. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is hosting an open house public meeting to unveil and discuss upcoming changes slated for the thoroughfare starting in 2026. The gathering offers a chance for local voices to be heard regarding the revamp of the corridor from Tucker Boulevard to Skinker Parkway/Kienlen Avenue, with particular attention to safety issues flagged in prior consultations.
The meeting is scheduled for today from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.—you can pop in at any point during those two hours, at the Better Family Life building located at 5415 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO, 63112. The engineers on deck will lay out the preliminary designs for the roadwork and the safety upgrades being considered, and residents can leave feedback either face-to-face or via a survey; input is crucial as it shapes the final strokes of the project's design and execution process, according to the details provided by MoDOT.
For those who can't make it in person, despair not: the same information, including the survey, is conveniently available online on MoDOT's project page. Interested parties can view the documents and leave comments up until August 7, ensuring that even the busiest of St. Louisans can have their opinions registered in this civic planning process.
