Any word on the actual proposals? Can you see them and vote online?
Voting online was discussed last year, I think it was decided it would be too complicated to implement so it couldn’t be corrupted.
See topics of the projects at http://pbstl.com/updates
More trash cans along streets with bus routes.
Beautification improvements to cul-de-sacs that border the west side of Jefferson Ave.
Improving empty LRA lots in the 6th ward.
Adding signs for the various neighborhoods throughout the ward.
Restroom renovations at Fox Park.
Adding bike lanes throughout the ward.
Adding a pedestrian light at Jefferson & Park.
Providing a sprinkler system for the Orchard Project on Virginia Ave.
Adding bike racks in Compton Hill Reservoir Park.
Traffic calming at Lafayette and Jefferson adding a median in the middle of Lafayette just west of Jefferson.
A good list of choices. Nice that they are letting people have a say.
