Mayor’s Office Shares Details About the CBD Traffic/Access Study
The Mayor’s campaign site just released the following:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, July 05, 2005Downtown Now, the Downtown Partnership, and the City of St. Louis have announced a traffic study for Downtown St. Louis to improve vehicular and pedestrian movement and safety on Downtown streets.
The traffic study will culminate in a plan for improvements to downtown’s pedestrian and vehicular movement systems. The consultants performing the study, Crawford, Bunte, & Brammeier, are also designing the new traffic signal controller system for the downtown core.
New controllers that will improve the synchronization of downtown’s traffic signals are expected to be installed later this year. The traffic plan resulting from the study will be implemented in conjunction with the new controller system. The study will examine a variety of traffic and pedestrian movement issues, including street direction, traffic signals, parking restrictions, delivery zones, enforcement of traffic regulations, signage and parking meter locations.
Funding for the study is being provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation and Downtown Now with a grant from National City Bank.
The study’s recommendations will be based on both the expertise of the consultants and stakeholder input. The consultants will examine existing pedestrian and vehicular circulation conditions and issues as well as opportunities offered by developments planned or in progress for improving or modifying circulation.
Downtown Now is currently conducting a stakeholder survey designed to evoke input on these issues from downtown’s customers.

I reviewed websites for Downtown Now, and Downtown Partnership,and found no reference to the study or how the public (aka stakeholders) can give any input. Maybe the survey was designed as a don’t call us, we’ll call you type? Or they just haven’t updated their sites yet.
I looked at the site for consultants Crawford, Bunte, & Brammeier
and found a reference to an on-going project:
St. Louis Signal Modification Project Phases 1,2, and 3 (CMAQ)
The first phase of this project consisted of upgrades to sixty signals on Broadway, Gravois and Skinker/McCausland. CBB’s scope of work included the development of new signal timing plans for each corridor. An extensive before and after study was performed, which documented significant reductions in fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.
The second phase involved the development of plans and recommendations for the modification of up to 220 of the signalized intersections located within the City of St. Louis, including the signal systems in the downtown area. The scope of work included signal modifications, controller upgrades, signal system and interconnect architecture design, and the development of signal timing plans. The downtown portion of the project includes the design and implementation of advanced video traffic detection and traffic control management devices for each of the three sporting venues located in the CBD.
Timing plans were developed and implemented for all three phases. This project will incorporate multi-jurisdictional control between the City of St. Louis and the Missouri Department of Transportation. Interaction with the Board of Public Service, the St. Louis Street Department and the Missouri Department of Transportation were critical components of this work. This is an on-going project with the City of St. Louis.
It is not fully clear to me if the study relates to a phase of this signal modification project or if it is an entirely new project. Anyone know? I’d be curious to see what timing changes have been made.

I can tell you this…I don’t need a study to know that on any given day I might wind up hopelessly stuck in a line of cars trying to exit the Kiener Plaza garage, with it sometimes taking nearly an hour just to get out of the parking garage.
There’s no one directing traffic, no policemen helping out, cars blocking intersections, drivers honking at each other, desperate drivers heading out of the garage through the entrance ramp. In a word: Pandemonium.
All of this seems to result from too many cars trying to get onto Broadway, 4th Street, or Memorial Drive all at the same time. Hmmmm…there’s that name again…Memorial Drive….
It’s as if downtown drivers know of no other way to get out of downtown…
