Letter: Prop T Passes in the City of St. Louis

Tags: , , , ,

Trailnet is pleased to see the voters of the City of St. Louis overwhelmingly passed Proposition T yesterday, approving the enactment of a City Department of Transportation on July 1, 2029.

We take a moment to celebrate and thank the many Alderpersons, community organizations and neighborhood associations who assisted in getting this initiative passed. But the work is not finished.

All City Dept of Transportation supporters must stay vigilant to make sure:

  • There is proper funding for maintenance of our streets and sidewalks, and all duties the City DOT will provide,
  • There is proper staffing in place on day one, including newly filled positions, with clearly outlined duties and responsibilities,
  • All contracts, studies and other materials originally initiated by other departments, but which pertain to the new department’s duties and responsibilities, are turned over to the City DOT for implementation on day one. 

While there is ample time for a smooth transition, we hope all who supported the effort continue to monitor the implementation of Prop T and voice their concerns if necessary. It is only through our collective efforts that we will see the successful implementation of our efforts. 

Again, our thanks. 

Cindy Mense, CEO
